“…Although the importance of focal adhesion remodeling for insulin secretion has been confirmed in vivo (Cai et al, 2012), little is known about the relationship between focal adhesions and the proteins organizing insulin exocytosis. Furthermore, a flurry of recent studies suggested that in neurons, CAZ may be formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the key players, such as liprins, ELKS and RIMs 4 (Emperador-Melero et al, 2021, Liang et al, 2021, McDonald et al, 2020, Sala et al, 2019, Wu et al, 2019, Wu et al, 2021; reviewed in (Chen et al, 2020, Hayashi et al, 2021). The idea that the exocytotic machinery in β-cells would form by LLPS is attractive, but it has not been tested.…”
