A recent study on the phosphorylation status of plasmalemma-integrated type-1 VDAC of neuronal cells under amyloid Aß, from my point of view, brings VDAC-1 back to the field of cell volume regulation and thus apoptosis.

2) Thinnes FP (2014) Opening up of plasmalemma type-1 VDAC to form apoptotic "find me signal" pathways is essential in early apoptosis - evidence from the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis resulting from failure of apoptotic cell clearance followed by sterile inflammation.
