Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an ...

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 ...

Prof. Fang-Jen S. Lee's team at National Taiwan University has discovered that an intermediate cellular metabolism molecule, glycerol, regulates the localization and function of the Golgi protein Imh1 ...

Interactions of two voltage-gated calcium channels and a pump enable separate control of exocytosis and endocytosis at chemical synapses. Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous ...

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 ...

Scientists haven’t had a precise way to arrange and study surface-bound extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) as they guide cell behavior. Researchers developed LEVA, which uses patterned ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental ...

A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet (KI) demonstrates how extracellular vesicles (EVs) activate the immune system in mice and seem to make their tumors sensitive to a checkpoint ...

Imaging live cells is key to reveal their inner workings, dynamics, and function. Current technological advances in confocal imaging can benefit from novel fluorescence labeling strategies and ...
