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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumors sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor.

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