Phagocytosis is a specialized process that enables cellular ingestion and clearance of
microbes, dead cells and tissue debris that are too large for other endocytic routes. As such …

Sorting nexins are a large family of evolutionarily conserved phosphoinositide-binding
proteins that have fundamental roles in orchestrating cargo sorting through the membranous …

In eukaryotic cells, membrane compartments are split into two by membrane fission. This
ensures discontinuity of membrane containers and thus proper compartmentalization. The …

Clathrin-mediated vesicle recycling in synapses is maintained by a unique set of endocytic
proteins and interactions. We show that endophilin localizes in the vesicle pool at rest and in …

The Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRTs) mediate diverse
membrane remodeling events. These activities typically require ESCRT-III proteins to …

Up to 60 different proteins are recruited to the site of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in an
ordered sequence. These accessory proteins have roles during all the different stages of …

Cells are wrapped in inelastic membranes, yet they can sustain large mechanical strains by
regulating their area. The area regulation in cells is achieved either by membrane folding or …

Some bacterial proteins involved in cell division and oxidative phosphorylation are tightly
bound to cardiolipin. Cardiolipin is a non-bilayer anionic phospholipid found in bacterial …

Tumor‐cell‐derived microparticles (MPs) can function as anticancer drug‐delivery carriers.
However, short blood circulation time, large‐size‐induced insufficient tumor accumulation …
