Abstract: Cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs when the internal pressure of a material exceeds the resistance to deformation provided by the surrounding medium. Several measurements, such as the blister test, bubble inflation, and cavitation rheology,… read more here.

Abstract: The autophagy protein ATG2, proposed to transfer bulk lipid from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during autophagosome biogenesis, interacts with ER residents TMEM41B and VMP1 and with ATG9, in Golgi-derived vesicles that initiate autophagosome formation. In… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT At organelle–organelle contact sites, proteins have long been known to facilitate the rapid movement of lipids. Classically, this lipid transport involves the extraction of single lipids into a hydrophobic pocket on a lipid transport… read more here.
