Pinocytosis also works as phagocytosis; the only difference is that phagocytosis is specific in the substances it transports.
12.
Pinocytosis, on the other hand, is when the cell engulfs already-dissolved or broken-down food.
13.
Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are both undertaken in association with lysosomes which complete the breakdown of the material which has been engulfed.
14.
APCs usually internalize exogenous antigens by endocytosis, but also by pinocytosis, macroautophagy, endosomal microautophagy or chaperone-mediated autophagy.
15.
The comparison with the normal cells showed that Rac1 stimulates actin filament production at the membrane, pinocytosis, and membrane ruffling.
16.
The cellular membrane pinches in a procession known as pinocytosis and allows entry of the virus into the cell by way of an endosome.
17.
The apical domain is specialized for the initial interaction with the embryo as well as controlling secretory and absorptive processes including endocytosis and pinocytosis.
18.
The enclosed nutrients are then taken up by pinocytosis ( " cell-drinking " ) by the ciliated cells located on the ventral surface.
19.
Pinocytosis ( " cell drinking " ) is essentially the same process, the difference being that the substances ingested are in solution and not visible under the microscope.
20.
Necrotic cells are cleared from the immune system by a mechanism called pinocytosis, or cellular drinking, which is mediated by macropinosomes, a subcellular component of macrophages.
