Cell membrane-derived vesicles for delivery of therapeutic agents
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021 Cell membranes have recently emerged as a new source of materials for molecular delivery systems. Cell membranes have been extruded or sonicated to make nanoscale vesicles. Unlike synthetic lipid or polymeric nanoparticles, cell membrane-derived vesicles

Regulation of synaptic vesicle docking by different classes of macromolecules in active zone material. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The docking of synaptic vesicles at active zones on the presynaptic plasma membrane of axon terminals is essential for their fusion with the membrane and exocytosis of their neurotransmitter to mediate synaptic impulse transmission.

Alignment of synaptic vesicle macromolecules with the macromolecules in active zone material that direct vesicle docking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Synaptic vesicles dock at active zones on the presynaptic plasma membrane of a neuron's axon terminals as a precondition for fusing with the membrane and releasing their neurotransmitter to mediate synaptic impulse transmission.
