This book presents the functions and mechanisms of macropinocytosis, an actin-driven endocytic uptake process. Key points, including the evolutionary origins of macropinocytosis and major signaling pathways that regulate this uptake mechanism, are highlighted.

Dr. Cosimo Commisso earned his Ph.D. in 2008 at the University of Toronto in the Department of Molecular Genetics and completed his Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cancer Biology at New York University Langone Medical Center in 2014. He is currently an Associate Professor and Program Director in the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute NCI-Designated Cancer Center in La Jolla, California. Dr. Commisso made a seminal contribution to the field of cancer research by identifying the way that pancreatic tumors augment their nutrient supply through boosting a process called macropinocytosis. This “cellular drinking” pathway allows tumors to obtain nutrients from their environment and supports tumor growth. Research in Dr. Commisso’s lab is centered on identifying novel drug targets in the macropinocytosis pathway that could be harnessed to develop new therapeutic modalities for cancer.
