In the December 7th edition of biobytes, Gero Steinberg (University of

Exeter, Exeter, England, UK) describes how several organelles hitchhike on motile

early endosomes in fungal cells (Guimaraes et

al.), and Gerd Walz (University of Freiburg Medical Center, Freiburg,

Germany) explains how NPHP4 regulates the actin cytoskeleton and ciliogenesis in

Xenopus (Yasunaga et

al.). Plus a round-up of other highlights from The Journal of

Cell Biology. The show was written and produced by Caitlin Sedwick and

Ben Short. Presented by Ben Short. See the associated papers in

JCB for details on the funding provided to support these

original research studies.
