A lattice-like scaffold hidden inside neurons acts as a spatial gatekeeper for how brain cells absorb material from their ...

Scientists found a hidden 'gatekeeper' in brain cells that may explain—and help stop—Alzheimer's damage.

AP180 is a protein involved in endocytosis and in signal transmission between nerve cells. This protein, which largely lacks a three-dimensional structure, has never been fully studied. To allow ...

Endocytosis is an important cellular process through which cells internalize substances such as water and nutrients. These substances are first transported as cargo to the initial sorting compartment ...

Endocytosis is a critical cellular function; it is used to absorb vital materials and can facilitate cell growth, motility, and communication. Now researchers have found a way to trigger the process, ...

Endocytosis is implicated in Alzheimer’s pathogenesis, because the continuous swallowing up of proteins from the cell surface and packaging them into little organelles brings the amyloid precursor ...

Endocytosis and exocytosis are the processes by which cells move materials into or out of the cell that are too large to directly pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Large molecules, ...
