This model proposes that the enzymes present in each individual cisterna change over time, while the cargo proteins remain inside the cisterna. Before Rothman's work on vesicles, this model had ...

The following is a summary of "Proteomic profiling and functional analysis of extracellular vesicles from ...

A study from Rutgers University presents a new method for tracking polycystin proteins in polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

Homotypic fusion between late endosomes. (A) Time-lapse imaging of endocytic vesicles in VE cells. (B) By labeling of VE ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease.

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells produce minute (40-1000 nm) membrane vesicles that are released into the local environment. These extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, ...

A new study by researchers from Marshall University and the University of Missouri highlights how exosomes—tiny vesicles released by cells—may play a key role in blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction ...
