title: Endocytosis regulates VEGF signalling during angiogenesis.
abstract: Endocytosis has proved to be a versatile mechanism regulating diverse cellular processes, ranging from nutrient uptake to intracellular signal transduction. New work reinforces the importance of endocytosis for VEGF receptor signalling and angiogenesis in the developing eye, and describes a mechanism for its differential regulation in angiogenic versus quiescent endothelial cells.
