Autophagy is a homeostatic mechanism involved in the disposal of damaged organelles,
denatured proteins as well as invaded pathogens through a lysosomal degradation …

Autophagy is a conserved intracellular degradation process enclosing the bulk of cytosolic
components for lysosomal degradation to maintain cellular homeostasis. Accumulating …

Intracellular bacterial pathogens have developed versatile strategies to generate niches
inside the eukaryotic cells that allow them to survive and proliferate. Making a home inside …

Septin GTPases polymerize into higher-ordered structures as a part of the cytoskeleton and
are involved in interactions of the host with a wide spectrum of pathogens. Many pathogens …

Phosphoinositides are important molecules in lipid signaling, membrane identity, and
trafficking that are spatiotemporally controlled by factors from both mammalian cells and …

Membrane curvature is a fundamental feature of cells and their organelles. Much of what we
know about how cells sense curved surfaces comes from studies examining nanometer …

Cells are constantly exposed to various mechanical environments; therefore, it is important
that they are able to sense and adapt to changes. It is known that the cytoskeleton plays a …

The Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is activated by stimuli that induce
perturbations in cell homeostasis, which commonly converge on cellular potassium efflux …

Septins are cytoskeletal GTPases that form nonpolar filaments and higher‐ordered
structures and they take part in a wide range of cellular processes. Septins are conserved …
