Inter-cellular exchange of cellular components via VE-cadherin-dependent trans-endocytosis.
Cell-cell communications typically involve receptor-mediated signaling initiated by soluble or cell-bound ligands. Here, we report a unique mode of endocytosis: proteins originating from cell-cell junctions and cytosolic cellular components from the neighboring cell are internalized, leading to dire...
