-Cytosis is a suffix that either refers to certain aspects of cells ie cellular process or phenomenon or sometimes refers to predominance of certain type of cells. It essentially means "of the cell". It essentially means "of the cell".
Transcytosis (also known as cytopempsis) [1] is a type of transcellular transport in which various macromolecules are transported across the interior of a cell.Macromolecules are captured in vesicles on one side of the cell, drawn across the cell, and ejected on the other side.
Exocytosis (/ ˌ ɛ k s oʊ s aɪ ˈ t oʊ s ɪ s / [1] [2]) is a form of active transport and bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo-+ cytosis). As an active transport mechanism, exocytosis requires the use of energy to transport material.
Potocytosis is a type of receptor-mediated endocytosis in which small molecules are transported across the plasma membrane of a cell.The molecules are transported by caveolae (rather than clathrin-coated vesicles) and are deposited directly into the cytosol.
biology, biological blast-germinate or bud Greek βλαστός (blastós) blastomere: blephar(o)-of or pertaining to the eyelid Greek βλέφαρον (blépharon), eyelid blepharoplasty: brachi(o)-of or relating to the arm Latin bracchium, from Greek βραχίων (brakhíōn), arm brachium of inferior colliculus: brachy-
The different types of endocytosis. Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested materials.
Hereditary elliptocytosis, also known as ovalocytosis, is an inherited blood disorder in which an abnormally large number of the person's red blood cells are elliptical rather than the typical biconcave disc shape.
Clathrin-independent endocytosis refers to the cellular process by which cells internalize extracellular molecules and particles through mechanisms that do not rely on the protein clathrin, playing a crucial role in diverse physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, membrane turnover, and cellular signaling.
