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 ...

Nowhere is the interdisciplinary nature of cell biology better illustrated than in the field of endocytosis. In recent years, it has become clear not only that a better understanding of ...

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 ...
