Membrane Trafficking

Membrane trafficking is the series of cellular processes that facilitate the movement of molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and sugars, between different cellular compartments and domains within the same cell. It enables the maintenance of cell homeostasis, regulation of metabolic pathways, and sustains cell differentiation and development. In addition, membrane trafficking also plays a key role in virus-host interactions and cellular communication. Without these processes, cells would not be able to survive and function.
