How have viruses hijacked the cell's pathways to cause infections, and how have scientists learned about endocytosis by studying viral entry pathways? The Cell's War Against Viruses As part of our ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell ...

"It's much like doing a medical CT scan where you can see inside of the cell non-destructively, so you don't have to cut the cell open," says Carolyn Larabell, a cell biologist at UC San Francisco.

One can call its endocytosis that is a process of absorption of molecules, or chemical compounds, by a cell. In other words, ...

Previously, researchers suspected that the primary mechanism was fusion. During endocytosis, the target cell's membrane completely surrounds the extracellular vesicle, creating a kind of bubble ...

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led team found that BOR1 is expressed in the tapetal cells of young anthers in unopened buds ...

In addition to its role in endocytosis, the clathrin machinery also forms stable ... we use a multidisciplinary approach combining state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, biochemistry, and ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
