This book presents the functions and mechanisms of macropinocytosis, an actin-driven endocytic uptake process.

In step with the rapid growth of research into the biochemical and functional characterization of the endosome, Volume 19 surveys the recent advances in the methodological aspects of this field.

This book presents an overview of our current knowledge of endocytosis in plants with a main focus on the key molecules undergoing and regulating endocytosis.

The meeting is reported in detail in this volume; a preliminary coverage, based on the overviews of each session, has appeared in the New Biologist (1991, 3:243-252).

This book provides information on the molecular interactions between host cell organelles and pathogens, which have developed strategies to survive within infected cells.

In this volume we have tried to provide answers to these and related questions. To do this we have asked scientists currently active in the field to contribute chapters in their special areas of interest.

This volume focuses exclusively on those endocytic processes that sequester proteins by a selective, receptor-mediated mechanism.

Mathematical models of sorting are evaluated to predict the range of possible outcomes. These are compared with a variety of experimental data on different receptor/ligand systems.

Endocytosis: New Insights for the Healthcare Professional: 2011 Edition is a ScholarlyEditions™ eBook that delivers timely, authoritative, and comprehensive information about Endocytosis.
