TLDR
This review covers the well-recognized clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), phagocytotic, and macropinocyTosis in addition to the less addressed pathways that take place in lipid rafts, and summarizes the regulators associated with each uptake pathway.

The Effect of Surface Charges on the Cellular Uptake of Liposomes Investigated by Live Cell Imaging

TL;DR: This study provides a better understanding on the cellular uptake mechanisms of the liposomes, which could contribute significantly to development of liposome-based drug delivery systems.

Clathrin to Lipid Raft-Endocytosis via Controlled Surface Chemistry and Efficient Perinuclear Targeting of Nanoparticle

TL;DR: It is shown that nanoparticle surface chemistry can be tuned to alter their cell uptake mechanism and subcellular trafficking, and the zwitterionic-lipophilic nanoprobe has the unique advantage as it weakly interacts with anionic cell membrane, migrates toward lipid rafts for interaction through lipophilic functional group, and induces lipid raft-mediated endocytosis.

Endocytosis of tight junction proteins and the regulation of degradation and recycling

TL;DR: A greater understanding of endocytosis and vesicular trafficking of TJ proteins in both epithelial and endothelial cells may allow for the development of methods to modulate barrier permeability for drug delivery or prevent barrier dysfunction in disease states.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-cationic polylactide nanocomplexes of differing charge density for gene delivery

TL;DR: Results help to elucidate the influence of charge, size, and PEGylation of nanocomplexes upon the delivery of nucleic acids in physiologically relevant conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustained delivery of proangiogenic microRNA-132 by nanoparticle transfection improves endothelial cell transplantation

TL;DR: Sustained delivery of proangiogenic microRNA‐132 encapsulated in a targeted biodegradable polymer NP is a safe and efficient strategy to improve EC transplantation and vascularization.

Functional rafts in cell membranes

Kai Simons, +1 more
- 05 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: A new aspect of cell membrane structure is presented, based on the dynamic clustering of sphingolipids and cholesterol to form rafts that move within the fluid bilayer that function as platforms for the attachment of proteins when membranes are moved around inside the cell and during signal transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fluid mosaic model of the structure of cell membranes.

TL;DR: Results strongly indicate that the bivalent antibodies produce an aggregation of the surface immunoglobulin molecules in the plane of the membrane, which can occur only if the immunoglOBulin molecules are free to diffuse in the membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulated portals of entry into the cell

TL;DR: ‘Endocytosis’ encompasses several diverse mechanisms by which cells internalize macromolecules and particles into transport vesicles derived from the plasma membrane and must be viewed in a broader context than simple vesicular trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Endocytosis

TL;DR: What is known about mammalian endocytic mechanisms is reviewed, with focus on the cellular proteins that control these events, and the functional relevance of distinctendocytic pathways is discussed.
