Abstract

In eukaryotic cells the actin cytoskeleton provides mechanical force for many processes in which the plasma membrane is reshaped. These processes include cell migration, cell division and the formation of endocytic vesicles. Here I will focus on the role of the actin cytoskeleton in clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
