Abstract
Rickettsia are bacterial pathogens known for their actin-based motility in the host cell cytoplasm. In this issue, Acevedo-Sánchez and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202406122) discover non-motile Rickettsia bacteria hijack host machinery to form stable membrane contact sites with the host endoplasmic reticulum.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
