dans cellule grâce à une protéine : clathrine. Receptor-mediated endocytosis of LDL. Note that the LDL dissociates from its receptors in the acidic environment of the endosome. After a number of steps the LDL ends up in lysosomes, where it is degraded to release free cholesterol. In contrast, the LDL receptor proteins are returned to the plasma membrane via transport vesicles that bud off from the tubular region of the endosome, as shown. For simplicity, only one LDL receptor is shown entering

theme of the anthology of short stories was the Franco–Prussian War from a decade earlier. Other writers contributed, including Émile Zola and J. K. Huysmans, but it was Maupassant's short story, often considered the best example of naturalism, that has reigned as the most famous. Maupassant is known for his insightful descriptions of characters and their actions and dialogues. His ability to capture a scene and recreate it in literary form has earned him a notable place in the history of naturalists

AT THE SIGN OF THE CAT AND RACKET Half-way down the Rue Saint-Denis, almost at the corner of the Rue du Petit-Lion, there stood formerly one of those delightful houses which enable historians to reconstruct old Paris by analogy. The threatening walls of this tumbledown abode seemed to have been decorated with hieroglyphics. For what other name could the passer-by give to the Xs and Vs which the horizontal or diagonal timbers traced on the front, outlined by little parallel cracks in the
