Signalling receptors are rapidly endocytosed following activation and then move through a series of endosomal compartments. A common property of signalling receptor endocytosis is the efficient ...

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 ...

Scientists film flu viruses surfing and being pulled into human cells in stunning real-time footage. The cell doesn’t wait, ...

In clathrin-mediated endocytosis, the cell membrane invaginates to take up metabolites, hormones, and proteins from the cell surface into intracellular vesicles. Cells employ several pathways for ...

Living cells and tissues show a high capacity to absorb various chemical compounds from the surrounding environment. Although ...
