Rab7 Regulates Late Endocytic Trafficking Downstream of Multivesicular Body Biogenesis and Cargo Sequestration

TL;DR: RNA interference is used to identify the exact step RAB7 regulates in the movement of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) from the cell surface to the lysosome and provide evidence that RAB 7 is required for the transfer of cargo from the LE/MVB to theLysosomes and for endocytic organelle maintenance.

Landscape of EGFR Signaling Network in Human Cancers: Biology and Therapeutic Response in Relation to Receptor Subcellular Locations

TL;DR: An emerging line of research is outlined that uncovers and functionally characterizes several novel modes of EGFR signaling that take center stage in the cell nucleus, mitochondrion and other subcellular compartments and contributes to the rationale design for therapeutic strategy that overcomes tumor drug resistance.
