Review: These are the twenty-one papers from the Biochemical Society Symposium held in Glasgow in July 2004. They provide a unique description of the endocytosis and exocytosis of proteins and lipids, focusing on the roles and mechanisms of the action of lipid rafts and clathrin-coated vesicles in these processes. The roles of lipids and rafts in cell signalling and in disease states are also described.
