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

Researchers at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) are a step closer to finding the fountain of youth ...

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

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

Synuclein (α-Syn) is a presynaptic protein primarily associated with Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

From immunology to tumor biology, extracellular vesicle research is a growing field with diagnostic and therapeutic potential that researchers across life science disciplines can tap into with ...

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 ...

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