WELCOME
The cells of our bodies are surrounded by a membrane that separates the molecules
inside the cell from those on the outside. This membrane barrier provides
cellular identity, and is essential for life as we know it, but it also
represents a problem. How are large molecules that the cell needs to
survive internalized? Likewise,
how can the composition of the membrane be controlled to optimize the
interaction of the cell with its environment? These fundamental issues
of cellular function are solved in part by membrane traffic, the regulated
movement of regions of membrane and their associated macromolecules using
small carriers called vesicles. more »»
