JCB’s December issue is here! https://hubs.la/Q03VTmMW0
The cover shows a confocal image of migrating mouse fibroblast L929 cell overexpressing GFP-RTN4C, stained with Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA; cyan) to visualize the plasma membrane, retraction fibers (RFs), and migrasomes. Tubular ER is labeled by GFP-RTN4C (yellow). The image illustrates that migrasomes grow at the tips or intersections of RFs during cell migration. Meanwhile, tubular ER attaches to migrasome initiation sites to extend into RFs and migrasomes, establishing localization within RFs and migrasomes, facilitating spatially encoded signal transmission coupling cell migration.
