Apelin delivered by extracellular vesicles to damaged lungs was found to ease PAH in animal models of the disease, per a ...

"Our model provides better molecular and spatial detail of the vesicle cycle, and much faster than any other system before.

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

In the 'inside-out' or 'leaky liposome' model (left) the cytoplasm evolved within the vesicle and the topology of the membrane (outer leaflet outside) remains in place during the evolutionary process.

By using a synthetic photosensitive amphiphile containing azobenzene (KAON12), we developed a method for the photo-manipulation of lipid membrane morphology, in which the shape of a vesicle can be ...

Extracellular vesicles have emerged as promising tools in regenerative medicine due to their inherent ability to facilitate intercellular communication and modulate cellular functions. These nanosized ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Cellular communication between neurons within our brain is complex and busy, much like a USPS mailroom.To keep things running ...

A recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel reveals that slowing down the intracellular transport of ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Several studies have attempted to replicate the complex hierarchy of eukaryotic cells for the bottom-up construction of artificial cells. Specifically, reconstruction of liquid–liquid phase separation ...
