Specifically, scientists have worked with “exosomes” — tiny biological mail trucks that stem cells dispatch to tell neighbors ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma ...

In a study published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, scientists from the UF Health Cancer Institute have found a way to make treatment for a notoriously aggressive breast cancer more ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Researchers have demonstrated that liposomes target tumours more effectively and reduce side effects, while others have observed that these nanomedicines improve the penetration and specificity of ...

Though originally thought of as strictly a waste disposal system, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to have myriad cell communication functions. Recent research has resulted in a deeper ...

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

The interaction of lipid vesicles (liposomes) of several different compositions with erythrocytes has been investigated. Lecithin liposomes, rendered positively charged with stearylamine, exhibit ...

Cells have a clever way called clathrin-mediated endocytosis to transport cargos like growth factors across the cell membrane and into the cell. Researchers used a sophisticated fluorescence ...

Polymers that repel each other can spontaneously phase-separate inside artificial vesicles, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the droplets and ...
