Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National University of Singapore, report that endocytosis, which was previously thought to be a random process, actually occurs in ...

Cell membranes are arranged into various lipid assemblies, such as regions that are rich in a particular phosphoinositide and lipid-raft microdomains. The latter are assemblies of cholesterol and ...

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 ...

A protein called "clathrin," which is found in every human cell and plays a critical role in transporting materials within them, also plays a key role in cell division, according to new research at ...

Clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) at pre-synaptic terminals is functionally coupled to neuro-transmitter release. Like other cytosolic proteins, clathrin is synthesized in cell-bodies and conveyed ...

Newly published research by Indiana University structural biologist Joel Ybe and colleagues identifies a "topology switch" in the protein clathrin, the function of which may shed light on molecular ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...

Researchers of the group of cellular and molecular neurobiology of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the University of Barcelona, ??led by researcher Artur Llobet, have shown ...

Clathrin coated pits (CCPs) are spherical, cage-like structures located on the plasma membrane that are responsible for receptor-mediated endocytosis. CCPs bud off the cell membrane with their ...
