Homotypic fusion between late endosomes. (A) Time-lapse imaging of endocytic vesicles in VE cells. (B) By labeling of VE cells with FM1-43, the fusion process of the cell membranes in zone 2 was ...

The research is conducted by a team from the Division of Life Science at HKUST, led by doctoral student Mr. QIU Hua (left) and RGC Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. WU Xiandeng (right). Researchers at the Hong ...

In A, researchers used a fluorescent protein (synaptopHluorin) to visualize synaptic vesicle movement. Some vesicles stay open briefly before retrieval (kiss-and-run). Others stay open longer but also ...

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 ...

Scientists haven’t had a precise way to arrange and study surface-bound extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) as they guide cell behavior. Researchers developed LEVA, which uses patterned ...

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 ...

Researchers are uncovering how extracellular vesicles (EVs) — tiny messengers released by cells — navigate the brain’s protective blood–brain barrier (BBB). These findings could transform drug ...
