Reseña del editor:

(Director: Pierre J. COURTOY) Two years after its first gathering in Oeiras, Portugal, the European Endocytosis Group convened for a second workshop at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, on October 1-5, 1990. The meeting is reported in detail in this volume; a preliminary coverage, based on the overviews of each session, has appeared in the New Biologist (1991, 3:243-252). The three main objectives, to broaden the audience, to present a more comprehensive view of the multiple aspects of endocytosis, from basic biology to health, disease and therapy, as well as to clarify controversial issues, have been largely fulfilled. The Second European Workshop on Endocytosis was attended by more than tOO participants, originating from 18 countries. 59 lectures and 35 posters were presented. In addition, vivi~ roundtables allowed to thoroughly discuss the dynamics and the regulation of the endocytic apparatus, as well as the role of endocytosis in antigen presentation. Endocytosis is a general and distinctive property of all eukaryotic cells, including protists, plants and fungi.

Reseña del editor:

Provided here is an updated and comprehensive view of basic and applied aspects of endocytosis. The first section covers new developments obtained by molecular tracking of defined probes in microcinematography and high-resolution electron microscopy, new procedures in cell fractionation, cell-free assays and genetic engineering of receptors transfected into eucaryotic cells. It also describes endocytosis in non-mammalian cells. The second section explores several applications to the understanding of health and disease, especially in the immune response and the relations between cells and intracellular pathogens, including in immunodeficient patients. It also discusses toxins and explores their potential for immuno-toxins, as well as the development of better designed drugs.
