Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a modular platform to reprogram tumor-derived extracellular vesicles ...

Prof. Fang-Jen S. Lee's team at National Taiwan University has discovered that an intermediate cellular metabolism molecule, glycerol, regulates the localization and function of the Golgi protein Imh1 ...

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and many other EV subtypes, have emerged ...

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 ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

With a growing number of exosome-based delivery vehicles advancing into the clinic for therapeutics and vaccines, more effective isolation and separation strategies are needed. Finnish researchers ...

Exocytosis and endocytosis are key steps in vesicle recycling. Exocytosis increases the surface area of the presynaptic terminal membrane, and endocytosis reduces the surface area, so by electrically ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...
