Amoeba and Other Protozoa
TL;DR: Protozoa are often more suitable and less expensive than the cells of higher animals for studying these phenomena of Morphogenesis, regeneration, differentiation, and control of genetic apparatus in higher multicellular organisms.

TL;DR: Three new species of centrohelid heliozoans Acanthocystis crescenta, A. kirilli, and Choanocyst is minima from two freshwater lakes of Valamo Island were studied using light- and scanning electron microscopy.

TL;DR: It was concluded that this phenomenon is distinct from pinocytosis and proposed that this kind of channel formation can be explained in terms of the bridging of areas of membrane by the polymer-polysaccharide complex.

Cryptic freshwater amoeba species in the bottom sediments of Nivå Bay (Øresund, Baltic Sea).
TL;DR: The experiment illustrates the presence of 'cryptic diversity' of amoebae in natural habitats and demonstrates that laboratory manipulation of the salinity of a sample prior to inoculation may achieve an increased recovery of species from a brackish-water habitat.

Chapter 14 Measurement of Material Uptake by Cells: Pinocytosis
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on pinocytosis, which was coined by Lewis to describe the uptake of fluid droplets from the surrounding medium by omental macrophages to respond to the presence of certain solutes in the environment by the formation of pinocyTosis channels.
