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 ...

Find out how vesicles function in the body and what the five main types of vesicle are. We also discuss how vesicles interact with other cells and pathogens.

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles are secreted by most, if not all, human cell types in response to activation, injury, or apoptosis, and may serve as the primary means for transfer of genetic material and ...

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

Influenza hemagglutinin subunit vaccines are more effective and offer better cross protection against various influenza virus ...

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).

Microscopic vesicles that swirl with oscillating surface patterns and sprout appendages like living cells have been unveiled by an international team of scientists. The researchers say that the tiny ...
