Cell-surface proteins are internalised by #endocytosis and transported via the endocytic pathway to vacuoles in yeast for degradation. Ralf Kölling analyses the recycling of the Vps55/Vps68 complex in the yeast endocytic pathway. https://t.co/xA3SWN7Uqw

Kai Jürgens, Achim Paululat & co generate knock-in #Drosophila flies carrying a clinically relevant point mutation in the Tmem43 gene and link TMEM43 to cardiomyopathy in vivo. https://t.co/pOmPKtJiKB
