Endocytosis and exocytosis are the processes by which cells move materials into or out of the cell that are too large to directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Large molecules, ...

In all eukaryotic cells, the constitutive processes of exocytosis and endocytosis maintain the flow of material to and from the cell surface. In secretory active cells, these processes have to be ...

Stimulation evokes exocytosis, and compensatory endocytosis that follows traps FM dye inside the retrieved vesicles. The extracellular dye is then washed from the chamber, and labeled endocytic ...

The left electron microscope image shows "exocytosis." Parts of two nerve ... The right image shows "endocytosis," the recycling of a nerve cell vesicle. The recycled vesicle that is taking ...

More information: Tomonari Sumi et al, Mechanism underlying hippocampal long-term potentiation and depression based on competition between endocytosis and exocytosis of AMPA receptors, Scientific ...

This allowed them to count the vesicles that were merging as well as the ones that were forming, to see where and how fast endocytosis and exocytosis were taking place. In a paper published ...

1. The LTP (or LTD) expression is caused by a phenomenon that the exocytosis triggered by the activation of Syt1/7 becomes more predominant (or inferior) than the endocytosis triggered by PICK1 ...

A solution to the problem of creating endocytosis on demand is being compared to 'hotwiring' a car. A team has managed to trigger clathrin-mediated endocytosis in the lab. A solution to the ...

Endocytosis is implicated in Alzheimer’s pathogenesis, because the continuous swallowing up of proteins from the cell surface and packaging them into little organelles brings the amyloid precursor ...
