A new aspect of cell membrane structure is presented, based on the dynamic clustering of
sphingolipids and cholesterol to form rafts that move within the fluid bilayer. It is proposed …

Immunoglobulins are transported across a variety of epithelial tissues. The best studied
example of this is the transport of polymeric IgA and IgM by the polymeric immunoglobulin …

Measuring electrical activity in large numbers of cells with high spatial and temporal
resolution is a fundamental problem for the study of neural development and information …

Previous studies have indicated that newly formed oligodendrocytes are dynamic cells
whose production, survival, and differentiation depend upon axonal influences. This study …

Vesicle‐mediated transcellular transport or simply “transcytosis” is a cellular process used to
shuttle macromolecules such as lipoproteins, antibodies, and albumin from one surface of a …

Myosin Va is associated with discrete vesicle populations in a number of cell types, but little
is known of the function of myosin Vb. Yeast two-hybrid screening of a rabbit parietal cell …

Secretory granules are specialized intracellular organelles that serve as a storage pool for
selected secretory products. The exocytosis of secretory granules is markedly amplified …

In the early days of epithelial cell biology, researchers working with kidney and/or intestinal
epithelial cell lines and with hepatocytes described the biosynthetic and recycling routes …

In simple epithelial cells, apical and basolateral proteins are sorted into separate vesicular
carriers before delivery to the appropriate plasma membrane domains. To dissect the …
