GNOM encodes a brefeldin A (BFA)-sensitive regulator of vesicular transport. Treating wild-type roots with BFA abolished membrane localization of PIN1, which leads to its accumulation in an ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics led a study showing that directional, non-vesicular lipid transport drives fast, species-selective lipid sorting, outpacing slower, less ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
