Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...

A nasal spray containing vesicles naturally released by cells may work against Alzheimer's. This is the promise of a study ...

Video depiction of vesicle fusion and tethering. In the active zone in the central left of the video, docked vesicles (dark blue) fuse with the membrane, releasing their contents and being quickly ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

A study led by the Innovation in Vesicles and Cells for Application in Therapy (IVECAT) group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has identified a key mechanism regulating the ...

All cells, from bacteria to mammalian cells, produce extracellular vesicles—tiny membrane-enclosed packages of bioactive cargo. 1 Until relatively recently, scientists believed these organic ...

Extracellular vesicles are tiny bubbles that allow cells and tissues to communicate within the body. They have potential to be adapted to deliver drugs. Professor of Biomedical Engineering Cheemeng ...
