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 ...

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 ...
