My second @preLights post is all about “LaBeRling” ER membrane contact sites (ER MCS)! Established methods for labelling ER MCS can promote contact sites and stabilise/extend already established sites.
The @roylelab have found the ER resident Lamin B receptor may offer a anchor for chemical heterodimerization to label a variety of ER MCS at particular times, without affecting their properties.
