There are many pathways of endocytosis at the cell surface that apparently operate at the
same time. With the advent of new molecular genetic and imaging tools, an understanding of …

There are numerous ways that endocytic cargo molecules may be internalized from the
surface of eukaryotic cells. In addition to the classical clathrin-dependent mechanism of …

The ability of cells to sense external mechanical cues is essential for their adaptation to the
surrounding microenvironment. However, how nanoparticle mechanical properties affect cell …

Cell adhesions to the extracellular matrix (ECM) are necessary for morphogenesis, immunity
and wound healing,. Focal adhesions are multifunctional organelles that mediate cell–ECM …

Endocytosis occurs at the cell surface and involves internalization of the plasma membrane
(PM) along with its constituent membrane proteins and lipids. Endocytosis is involved in …

Many viruses utilize host ESCRT proteins for budding; however, influenza virus budding is
thought to be ESCRT-independent. In this study we have found a role for the influenza virus …

The Arp2/3 complex generates branched actin networks when activated by Nucleation
Promoting Factors (NPFs). Recently, the WASH family of NPFs has been identified, but its …

Membrane scission is essential for intracellular trafficking. While BAR domain proteins such
as endophilin have been reported in dynamin-independent scission of tubular membrane …

Endocytosis includes a number of processes by which cells internalize segments of their
plasma membrane, enclosing a wide variety of material from outside the cell. Endocytosis …

Endocytosis, phagocytosis, and macropinocytosis are fundamental processes that enable
cells to sample their environment, eliminate pathogens and apoptotic bodies, and regulate …
