The Secretion-coupled Endocytosis Correlates with Membrane Tension Changes in RBL 2H3 Cells

Stimulated secretion in endocrine cells and neuronal synapses causes a rise in endocytosis rates to recover the added membrane. The endocytic process involves the mechanical deformation of the membrane to produce an invagination. Studies of osmotic swelling effects on endocytosis indicate that the i...
