Figure 1: Clathrin was targeted to the mitotic spindle of NRK cells. Figure 2: Clathrin was targeted to the mitotic spindle via the N-terminal domain of the heavy chain. Does prolonged mitosis 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 ...

We recently identified multivesicular bodies (MVBs) as prevacuolar compartments (PVCs) in the secretory and endocytic pathways to the lytic vacuole in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells. Secretory ...

This study is reported by Hualan Chen’s group from the State Key Laboratory for Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

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 ...

The paper S. Kaur et al., “An unmet actin requirement explains the mitotic inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis,” eLife, 3:e00829, 2014. For decades, scientists observed clathrin-mediated ...

She created a poster artistically portraying clathrin mediated endocytosis — a process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, and proteins. Her focus on the topic of how cells receive nutrients ...
