Several challenges exist for successful nanoparticle cellular uptake—they must be able to
cross many physical barriers to reach their target and overcome the cell membrane. A …

Endocytosis is the fundamental uptake process through which cells internalize extracellular
materials and species. Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are characterized by a …

Membrane fission is a fundamental process in the regulation and remodelling of cell
membranes. Dynamin, a large GTPase, mediates membrane fission by assembling around …

Macrophages, one of the most important phagocytic cells of the immune system, are highly
plastic and are known to exhibit diverse roles under different pathological conditions. The …

Membrane abscission, the final cut of the last connection between emerging daughter cells,
is an indispensable event in the last stage of cell division and in other cellular processes …

Nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) s, like ATP (adenosine 5'-triphosphate) and GTP (guanosine
5'-triphosphate), have long been considered sufficiently concentrated and diffusible to fuel …

Autophagy involves engulfment of cytoplasmic contents by double-membraned
autophagosomes, which ultimately fuse with lysosomes to enable degradation of their …

It is well established that influenza A virus (IAV) attachment to and infection of epithelial cells
is dependent on sialic acid (SIA) at the cell surface, although the specific receptors that …

Introduction All decapod crustaceans are considered potentially susceptible to White Spot
Syndrome Virus (WSSV) infection, but the degree of White Spot Disease (WSD) …

Intersectins (ITSNs) are a family of multi-domain proteins involved in regulation of diverse
cellular pathways. These scaffold proteins are well known for regulating endocytosis but …
