Giant Solitary Echinococcal Cyst of the Seminal Vesicle: An Uncommon Cause of Retention of Urine
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2008 Echinococcal cysts (EC) of the retroperitoneum are a rare occurrence. Such cysts involving the seminal vesicle and attaining massive size are very rare. These cysts may remain asymptomatic for long periods or may produce nonspecific symptoms. We herewith

Hierarchical unilamellar vesicles of controlled compositional heterogeneity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Eukaryotic life contains hierarchical vesicular architectures (i.e. organelles) that are crucial for material production and trafficking, information storage and access, as well as energy production. In order to perform specific tasks, these compartments

Interaction between catanionic vesicles and giant magnetic vesicles
Comptes Rendus. Chimie, 2008 Interactions between vesicles made of a sugar-derived tricatenar catanionic surfactant (TriCat), used as drug delivery vectors, and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) encapsulating magnetic nanoparticles are investigated in order to understand the drug internalisation process.

Induced phagocytic particle uptake into a giant unilamellar vesicle.
Soft Matter, 2014 Phagocytosis, the uptake and ingestion of solid particles into living cells, is a central mechanism of our immune system. Due to the complexity of the uptake mechanism, the different forces involved in this process are only partly understood.

Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis in Different Model Systems
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Neurotransmission in complex animals depends on a choir of functionally distinct synapses releasing neurotransmitters in a highly coordinated manner. During synaptic signaling, vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents. The rate of

Actin cage for the synaptic vesicle liquid phase
Cell ReportsSummary: Synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals are organized into a cluster at the active zone, where they fuse with the presynaptic membrane during synaptic activity. This cluster is proposed to be organized as a liquid phase dependent on synapsin. Using

Protein reconstitution in giant vesicles
, 2023 Life on Earth is diverse and ranges from unicellular organisms to multicellular creatures like humans. Although there are theories about how these organisms might have evolved, we understand little about how ‘life’ started from molecules.
