J Cell Sci 115:1907-18. 2002..In addition, mutant cells manifested alterations in the dynamic regulation of cytosolic pH that are characteristic of normal cells grown in acid media, which suggested that the V-ATPase also plays a role in cytosolic pH regulation...
Curvature recognition and force generation in phagocytosisMargaret Clarke
Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City, OK 73121, USA
BMC Biol 8:154. 2010..We survey mechanisms that enable a phagocyte to remodel actin organization in response to particles of complex shape...
Heterogeneous modes of uptake for latex beads revealed through live cell imaging of phagocytes expressing a probe for phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol-(3,4)-bisphosphateJennifer Giorgione
