Macropinocytosis: a pathway to protozoan infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
Among the various endocytic mechanisms in mammalian cells, macropinocytosis involves internalization of large amounts of plasma membrane together with extracellular medium, leading to macropinosome formation. These structures are formed when plasma membrane ruffles are assembled after actin filament rearrangement.
