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.

Proteolytic cleavage, trafficking, and functions of nuclear receptor tyrosine kinases

TL;DR: The proteolytic processing, intracellular trafficking and nuclear functions of RTKs are summarized, and how they promote cancer progression, and their clinical implications are discussed.

A mosquito salivary protein promotes flavivirus transmission by activation of autophagy.

TL;DR: The authors show that Aedes aegypti venom allergen-1 ( Aa VA-1) promotes dengue and Zika virus transmission by activating autophagy in host immune cells of the monocyte lineage.

Fluorescent Carbon Dots for Selective Labeling of Subcellular Organelles

TL;DR: This review discusses the applications of fluorescent CDs for the labeling of organelles, including lysosome, nucleoli, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria and highlights the importance of the surface properties (functional groups, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, charges, zwitterions) and the size of CDs for labeling.

Cell-penetrating Peptides: Efficient Vectors for Vaccine Delivery.

TL;DR: This review describes the different mechanisms of CPP intercellular uptake and various CPP-based vaccine delivery strategies.

DJ-1 deficiency impairs glutamate uptake into astrocytes via the regulation of flotillin-1 and caveolin-1 expression.

TL;DR: It is observed that DJ-1 deficiency decreased the expression of flotillin-1 (flot-1) and caveolin- 1 (cav-1), the main protein components of lipid rafts, in primary astrocytes and MEF cells.

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.
