Endocytosis (Paperback)

Endocytosis describes the way in which cells internalise material from their environment in membrane vesicles. These processes have been found to be crucial for normal cell function, for fundamental aspects of the way in which cells in the brain communicate, for immune responses and a variety of other cellular functions. In addition, various viruses and cellular pathogens use endocytosis to enter cells. This volume presents recent discoveries on how these pathways work and the molecules involved.
