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, ...

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 ...

Exocytosis and endocytosis are ubiquitous eukaryotic processes engaged in myriad cellular functions. Essential roles of exocytosis include the release of secretory vesicle cargo and the delivery ...

This diagram depicts both exocytosis (left) and endocytosis (right). On top is a nerve cell that is sending a chemical nerve signal to the nerve cell on the bottom. Within the top nerve cell ...

This article provides an introduction to dynamin and endocytosis and lists the inhibitors that are relevant to research. Dynamin is an important GTPase enzyme that takes part in different ...

Caption Exocytosis and endocytosis are key steps in vesicle recycling. Exocytosis increases the surface area of the presynaptic terminal membrane, and endocytosis reduces the surface area, so by ...

The new study in Cell Reports finds that in astrocytes, which are the most common non-neuron cell in the brain, the variant hampers the process of endocytosis, which is a major way that cells ...

The resetting of rhodopsin molecules begins with a process called endocytosis, where the cell pinches off parts of its surface membranes into structures called endosomes. The rhodopsin in these ...
