TL;DR: The consistency of NL contacts is inversely linked to gene activity in single cells and correlates positively with the heterochromatic histone modification H3K9me3, which highlights fundamental principles of single-cell chromatin organization.

TL;DR: ORP1L, via its liganding by lipids and the formation of contacts between autophagic vacuoles and the ER, governs the last steps in autophagy that lead to the lysosomal degradation of cytosolic material.

TL;DR: A new imaging buffer is described, OxEA, that supports 3-color imaging of the popular Alexa dyes and is shown to collect very large series of images from the same cell, enabling image stitching, extended 3D imaging as well as multi-color recording.

TL;DR: Through their ability to influence cellular tension, hemidesmosomes also control the localization of αvβ5 in flat clathrin lattices.

TL;DR: It is reported that podosomes have a modular actin nano-architecture whose organization differs on stiff or soft substrates, and a paradigm for how actin modularity drives invadosome mechanosensing in cells that breach tissue boundaries is revealed.
