University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

These targeted particles are taken into the cell by multiple routes of internalization, where the best-characterized pathway is clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Most studies of particle uptake have ...

Luiro K, Yliannala K, Ahtiainen L, Maunu H, Järvelä I, Kyttälä A, Jalanko A (2004) Interconnections of CLN3, Hook1 and Rab proteins link Batten disease to defects in the endocytic pathway.

This study elucidated how exogenous RNAs enter fungi and identified the core components involved in fungal endocytic pathway.

Although many experiments reveal limited changes in the localization or abundance of endocytic machinery, the findings are thorough, and data substantially support a model in which endocytic ...

Glycol chitosan nanogels have been widely used in gene, drug, and contrast agent delivery in an effort to improve disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we evaluate the internalization mechanisms ...
