Membrane Vesicle Production as a Bacterial Defense Against Stress
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Membrane vesicles are the nano-sized vesicles originating from membranes. The production of membrane vesicles is a common feature among bacteria. Depending on the bacterial growth phase and environmental conditions, membrane vesicles show diverse ...

The Role of Vesicles in Transporting of Cholera Toxin
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2023 The review reports on the secretion pathways of the main virulence factor of Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin, both through the two-stage Sec-dependent type 2 secretion system and with the help of vesicles of the outer membrane of V. cholerae.

Adhesion of Vesicles and Membranes [PDF]
Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 1991 In the presence of an attractive surface, a vesicle can undergo shape transformations between two different free states, between a free and a bound state, and between two different bound states. Adhesion can also lead to topological changes such as vesicle rupture and vesicle fusion.

Budding and vesiculation induced by conical membrane inclusions [PDF]
, 2009 Conical inclusions in a lipid bilayer generate an overall spontaneous curvature of the membrane that depends on concentration and geometry of the inclusions. Examples are integral and attached membrane proteins, viruses, and lipid domains.

Outer Membrane Vesicle Vaccine Platforms
BioDrugs, 2023 Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spontaneously released by many gram-negative bacteria during their growth and constitute an important virulence factor for bacteria, helping them to survive through harsh environmental conditions. Native OMVs, naturally-released from bacteria, are produced at a level too low for vaccine manufacturing, requiring ...

Roles of the TRAPP-II Complex and the Exocyst in Membrane Deposition during Fission Yeast Cytokinesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 The cleavage-furrow tip adjacent to the actomyosin contractile ring is believed to be the predominant site for plasma-membrane insertion through exocyst-tethered vesicles during cytokinesis.

Osmotic Vesicle Collapse of Sealed Inside–Out Membrane Vesicles From Red Blood Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The preparation of plasma membrane vesicles from a large variety of cells has contributed a wealth of information on the identity and vectorial properties of membrane transporters and enzymes. Vesicles from red blood cell (RBC) membranes are generated in
