Here we describe a mouse Fc receptor, designated Fcα/μR ... Fcα/μR also mediated primary B lymphocyte endocytosis of IgM-coated Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, Fcα/μR is involved in the ...

Inhibition of AMPA receptor endocytosis could help treat addiction to heroin. Van den Oever et al. have used a rat model to demonstrate that the link between re-exposure to preconditioned stimuli ...

it sometimes requires an additional factor such as a protein that is a receptor for a specific chemical serving as a "named ticket to entry" into the cell. One can call its endocytosis that is a ...

Reduced receptor-mediated LDL endocytosis causing raised blood LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is the main defect, but other abnormalities due to lack of LDL receptors include altered hepatic cholesterol ...

One key process in maintaining this equilibrium is endocytosis, the mechanism by which membrane components are internalised. Organisms have evolved various endocytic pathways, all relying on ...

This is an advanced course in cell biology. In this course we will examine different areas of eukaryotic cell biology including: membrane structure and function, cell adhesion, intercellular ...
