Cells take up solid particles using a process called endocytosis. How did scientists use viruses to learn about endocytic functions in cells? Aa Aa Aa Viruses are the smallest microorganisms in ...

The endocytosis pathway involves multiple protein-protein interactions and has proven difficult to investigate. Two years ago David Drubin and colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley ...

By contrast, the bulk of endocytosis is often viewed as a constitutive process that ensures the continuous recycling of membrane components. In a recent paper (Mol. Cell 7, 421–432; 2001 ...

Although the importance of this process was well-defined, the specific mechanisms controlling it were unclear. The team became interested in how LEC removal is affected by endocytosis, the process ...

For decades, scientists observed clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME)—the process of forming vesicles to pull protein cargo into a cell—ceasing during mitosis in mammalian cells. But they didn’t know ...

Robert Hołyst showed a novel approach in the quantitative method to describe the endocytosis process using the example of ...

One key process in maintaining this equilibrium is endocytosis, the mechanism by which membrane components are internalised. Organisms have evolved various endocytic pathways, all relying on ...

One key process to maintain this balance is endocytosis, the mechanism by which membrane components are internalised. Higher organisms have evolved a plethora of endocytic pathways with unique ...

which relies on the process of endocytosis. By designing drugs to use the CD36 pathway, researchers were able to deliver 7.7 to 22.3 times more of the drug inside cancerous cells. This change ...
