In eukaryotic cells,autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles that are highly mobile and traffic along cytoskeletal tracks.While core autophagy-related proteins(ATGs)and other regulators involved in autophagosome bi...
Viral epidemics pose major threats to global health and economies.A hallmark of viral infection is the reshaping of host cell membranes and cytoskeletons to form organelle-like structures,known as viral factories,whic...

Cilia’s back-and-forth beat pattern requires a central pair(CP)of microtubules.However,the mechanism by which the CP is upheld above the transition zone(TZ)remains unclear.Here,we showed that a rod-like substructure ...
