Cell biology: Light on pits
Elizabeth Smythe1
Abstract
The imaging of events in living cells offers a way to test models of cell behaviour and develop new hypotheses. The invaginating 'pits' on the surface of cells are the latest subject of this approach.
Writing last month in Cell, Ehrlich and colleagues1 reported progress in a 40-year line of investigation. They have studied the 'coated pits' that form on the surface of cells and which take up material from the surface and the extracellular environment.
