Magnesium uptake by connecting fluid-phase endocytosis to an intracellular inorganic cation filter
Metal bioavailability is frequently limited by sequestering agents which makes them inaccessible to cells. Here the authors show that cells can increase Mg2+ uptake via fluid phase endocytosis and accumulate this metal in their vacuole loaded with polyphosphate, and later can be exported to the cyto...
