title: Endocytic traffic: vesicle fusion cascade in the early endosomes.
abstract: New research shows that vesicles in the early endosomal network coalesce according to a classical theoretical description of aggregation put forward by Smoluchowski more than 100 years ago. This gives a new tool for unraveling complexities of the endocytic pathways.
