Pycnosomes: Condensed Endosomal Structures Secreted by Dictyostelium Amoebae.

Dictyostelium discoideum has been used largely as a model organism to study the organization and function of the endocytic pathway. Here we describe dense structures present in D. discoideum endocytic compartments, which we named pycnosomes. Pycnosomes are constitutively secreted in the extracellula...
