News Releases. Schizophreniaâs strongest known genetic risk deconstructed. Suspect gene may trigger runaway synaptic pruning during adolescence â NIH-funded study. Versions of a gene linked to schizophrenia may trigger runaway pruning of the teenage brainâs still-maturing communications infrastructure, NIH-funded researchers have discovered.

Eukaryotic cells internalize fluid, large and small molecules, and even other cells from their surroundings by a process called endocytosis. During endocytosis, the plasma membrane of the cell forms a pocket around the material to be internalized.
