Unsurprisingly beautiful microscope images from @tolgaboz.bsky.social, which you can browse in this preprint #2025ISMPMI

Tldr; NLRs can target different membrane interfaces, not just the plasma membrane.

Nice paper though it fails to mention very relevant articles on plant #autophagy from @tolgaboz.bsky.social lab. Here's one of them: europepmc.org/article/MED/... #plantblindness
