FOCAL POINT (Left to right) Khanhky Phamluong, Deanna Wilson, Andrew Peterson, Mark Solloway, and colleagues (not shown) took a closer look at how the protein Mia3 helps export collagen from cells. Compared with the endoplasmic reticulum in a cell from a normal mouse (center), the ER in a cell from a mouse lacking Mia3 is bloated (right). The researchers think that without Mia3’s assistance collagen piles up inside the ER. / PHOTO COURTESY OF KHANHKY PHAMLUONG
