Biomembranes II: Membrane Dynamics and Communication

Concept 1: Dynamic Membrane Flow Through the Cell

Some membrane regions move dynamically through cells.
Membrane vesicles form by budding off from a membrane. Then they migrate through the cell and fuse with other target membrane systems. Enclosed materials are thus transported to different compartments or secreted to outside cells.
