Basic research on Listeria bacteria leads to unique cancer therapy After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause listeriosis, Daniel Portnoy and his colleagues have discovered a way to turn the…

Membrane receptors cluster phosphatidylserine to activate LC3-associated phagocytosis - Nature Cell Biology Here the authors show that LC3-associated phagocytosis is initiated by various receptors, which enrich phosphatidylserine in the membrane domains proximal to the phagosome, recruiting Rubicon to the membrane for phagosome maturation.
