The role of toca-1-N-wasp complex in filopodia formation and endocytosis by Bu, Wenyu

“…The coordinated filopodia formation and endocytosis may be crucial for diverse cellular and developmental processes, such as growth cone guidance and collapse, epithelial cell polarity and border cell migration of Drosophila. Therefore the linkage between filopodia formation and endocytosis may be essential for cellular response to the environmental cues or establishing cell polarity, thus providing a mechanism to coordinate cell signaling events and developmental processes.…”
