Discovery of a new endocytic pathway in cancer cells

In this study, we describe a previously unnoticed and uncharacterized clathrin-independent endocytic mechanism that is controlled by the BAR domain protein endophilin-A3 and galectin-8. This elegant work has been performed by Henri-François, François and Camille in our lab and in collaboration with Institut Curie, Institut de Duve and Umons.
