Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 109, No. 1 (January 3, 2012), pp. 291-296 (6 pages) Although Ca2+/calmodulin has been suggested to play a role ...

Researchers describe a new method of studying the endocytosis and recycling of cell surface proteins. ASSAY & Drug Development Technologies offers a unique combination of original research and reports ...

Cells communicate through proteins embedded in their cell membranes. These proteins have diverse functions and can be compared with antennas, switches and gates. For the well-being of the cell, it has ...

Plant cells absorb many important substances through a process called endocytosis. In plants, endocytosis is essential for nutrient uptake, passing on cellular signals and plant-microbe interactions.
