We have a new article from Emma Fenech, Maya Schuldiner & co. (Weizmann, Rehovot) on the yeast LAM family of sterol transfer proteins. They use proximity labeling to compare all 6 proteins, finding unique functions for paralogs and new functional links. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Contact is here at last #firstpost. 2025 also sees us adding a strapline to our title. Instead of one pithy word, we have 5 more: Contact: The Journal of Inter-Organelle Communication We look forward to sharing new of progress in this scientific field in general and for the journal specifically.
