Researchers in Biochemistry and Biophysics (Rick Baker and Kevin Cannon) and collaborators have uncovered a new checkpoint that cells use to control what molecules they internalize. Understanding the determinants for entry into cells could lead to the design of better therapeutics that must enter through this gatekeeping mechanism.
