The large GTPase dynamin has a crucial role in endocytosis, working at the neck of clathrin-coated pits to drive vesicular scission. Until recently, dynamin was believed to regulate endocytosis through caveolae in a similar fashion. However, recent work calls for a serious reassessment of the role of dynamin in endocytosis by caveolae.

A class of protein-based molecular shape probes move us closer toward the goal of a general, genetically encoded tagging system for cryogenic electron tomography. Fluorescent probes revolutionized light microscopy. The ability to label a specific molecule and visualize it over and above the crowded environment of the cell transformed how molecules could be studied across space and time. The development of genetically encoded probes was an equally large step.
