Before Rothman's work on vesicles, this model had broad support. However, once scientists identified the large numbers of small transport vesicles surrounding the Golgi, researchers developed the ...

The vesicle is then known as a lysosome when its contents have been digested by the cell. Exocystosis is the process of membrane transport that releases cellular contents outside of the cell.

The function of these types of vesicles is to store and transport materials and waste. Vesicles develop when fluid becomes trapped under the epidermis, the top layer of your skin. A number of ...

Now, the researchers have learned more about what can control the traffic-controlling HTT.

A major focus of research is on the COPII protein machinery responsible for synthesis of ER-derived transport vesicles. We are exploring the mechanisms utilized by COPII to segregate folded protein ...

The method is based on so-called extracellular vesicles (EVs), tiny bubbles that are naturally secreted by cells and can transport biologically active molecules between cells. Researchers have now ...

These also include something known as extracellular vesicles (EV) that are released by cells and that are enclosed in a ...

This dance involves some surprisingly complicated choreography within the lipid bilayers that comprise cell membranes and vesicles—structures that transport waste or food within cells.
