Ohio State University scientists study extracellular vesicles' movement in tumors, suggesting short-range cell communication.

Video depiction of vesicle fusion and tethering. In the active zone in the central left of the video, docked vesicles (dark blue) fuse with the membrane, releasing their contents and being quickly ...

When Ph.D. student Kshitiz Parihar began combing through dozens of research papers on two seemingly different topics — tumor mechanics and extracellular vesicles, tiny packages of proteins and genetic ...

A new study may change the way scientists think about the distance traveled by tiny bubbles carrying signals between cells ...

Obesity is known to increase the risk of many diseases, like heart problems and diabetes. But its exact link to Alzheimer’s disease has been unclear—until now. A new study from Houston Methodist ...

Researchers have created tiny artificial giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) made of a single lipid bilayer 1. Smaller than a human hair, these can swim and navigate in fluid without using motors, gears ...
