Abstract
⺠Over 20 different viruses use macropinocytosis as a means to enter host cells. ⺠Viruses can trigger macropinocytosis using a wide variety of cell surface molecules. ⺠Macropinocytic signaling varies with the triggering virus. ⺠Apoptotic mimicry is emerging as a common mechanism used by viruses to trigger macropinocytosis. ⺠Viruses are becoming valuable tools to study macropinocytosis.
