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.
