Caption

An artist's impression of Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis (CME) occurring as periodic traveling waves on the membrane. Clathin coated vesicles (blue) bud off from wave peaks. Clathrin waves require intermediate PIP3 levels (red) and also feedback from downstream components of cortical wave machinery such as FBP17 (green).
