To survive and fulfill their biological functions, cells need to take in material from their environment. In this process, proteins within the cell pull inward on its membrane, forming a pit that eventually encapsulates the material in a bubble called a vesicle.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have now revealed a relationship that governs this process, known as endocytosis.
