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 ...

Nowhere is the interdisciplinary nature of cell biology better illustrated than in the field of endocytosis. In recent years, it has become clear not only that a better understanding of ...

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other ...

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 ...
