TLDR
Two stages of cholesterol handling in late endosomal compartments are proposed: first, cholesterol enters MLN64/ABCA3-positive compartments from where it can be recycled to the plasma membrane, and later, cholesterol entering ORP1L/NPC1 endosomes that mediate cholesterol export to the endoplasmic reticulum.

The Rab7 effector protein RILP controls lysosomal transport by inducing the recruitment of dynein-dynactin motors

TL;DR: It is shown that RILP prevents further cycling of Rab7 and induces the recruitment of functional dynein-dynactin motor complexes to Rab7-containing late endosomes and lysosomes.

Role of LBPA and Alix in Multivesicular Liposome Formation and Endosome Organization

TL;DR: It is found that the unconventional phospholipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) could induce the formation of multivesicular liposomes that resembled the multiveicular endosome membranes that exist where this lipid is found in vivo.
