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, ...

Along with material uptake, endocytosis regulates signal transduction, as well as morphogenetic aspects of normal physiology (such as cell adhesion and migration). The multiple routes of endocytosis ...

Endocytosis has long been thought of as simply a way for cells to internalize nutrients and membrane-associated molecules. But an explosive growth in knowledge has given a new dimension to our ...
