Epithelial cells require apical–basal plasma membrane polarity to carry out crucial vectorial
transport functions and cytoplasmic polarity to generate different cell progenies for tissue …

There are numerous ways that endocytic cargo molecules may be internalized from the
surface of eukaryotic cells. In addition to the classical clathrin-dependent mechanism of …

This article aims at providing an update on the complexity of clathrin-independent
endocytosis. It is now almost 30 years since we first wrote a review about its existence; at …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the simplest cellular glycerophospholipid characterized by unique
biophysical properties: a small headgroup; negative charge; and a phosphomonoester …

Influenza A virus (IAV) enters host cells upon binding of its hemagglutinin glycoprotein to
sialylated host cell receptors. Whereas dynamin-dependent, clathrin-mediated endocytosis …

The composition and identity of cell organelles are dictated by the flux of lipids and proteins
that they receive and lose through cytosolic exchange and membrane trafficking. The trans …

Virus entry into host cells is the first step of infection and a crucial determinant of
pathogenicity. Here we show that Ebola virus-like particles (EBOV-VLPs) composed of the …

In eukaryotic cells, protein sorting is a highly regulated mechanism important for many
physiological events. After synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum and trafficking to the Golgi …

A number of recent studies have provided new insights into the complexity of the endocytic
pathways originating at the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. Many of the molecules …

Synaptic vesicles have been proposed to form through two mechanisms: one directly from
the plasma membrane involving clathrin-dependent endocytosis and the adaptor protein …
