A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membranous structures which act as intercellular communicators in both physiological and pathological situations, hence offering extraordinary ...

A new study shows that the embryo and the uterine lining conduct an active "conversation" from the very earliest stages of ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in modern biology. These nano-sized ...

A team of Berlin-based researchers led by Jana Kroll and Christian Rosenmund has captured the fleeting moment a nerve cell releases its ...

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 ...

Hoboken, N.J --September 17, 2020-- John Wiley and Sons Inc. (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb) and the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) are pleased to announce their open access publishing ...

The scientists have managed to maintain vesicles enclosed by a lipid membrane – so-called liposomes – in constant motion on a supporting membrane. This motion is driven by the interaction of the ...

During a heart attack, blood flow is blocked and cells lose oxygen and begin to die. Scientists are developing many new ways to treat heart attacks, some of which involve stem cells, while others ...

In a study published recently in Nature Methods, scientists at The Ohio State University report on a new approach to ...

A high-speed “zap-and-freeze” method is giving scientists their clearest view yet of how brain cells send messages. By freezing tissue at the instant a signal fires, researchers revealed how synaptic ...
