How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

A group of researchers at the VIB‑UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology has developed a new platform to isolate and analyze ...

A newly found organelle, the hemifusome, helps manage cellular recycling. It may play a role in inherited diseases and open ...

Another chief open question is identifying proteins, called transporters, that enable vesicles to maintain ionic balance as they transition from the extracellular environment back into a cell with ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria ...

The team investigated extracellular vesicles in various model systems, including neural progenitor cells, neurons, astrocytes, brain organoids, and patterned spheroids, each derived from ...

LMU scientists show in mouse model that extracellular vesicles boost T cells. As a major component of the immune system, T cells play a critical role in fighting off viral infections. A team led ...

image: Polymers that repel each other can spontaneously phase-separate inside artificial vesicles, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the ...

The capture of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) by cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contributes to metastasis and notably to the formation of the pre-metastatic niche (PMN).

A ging is associated with increased frailty, reduced organ function, and an elevated risk of diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. In a study published today (October 19) in Science Advances, ...
