Postsynaptic VAMP/Synaptobrevin Facilitates Differential Vesicle Trafficking of GluA1 and GluA2 AMPA Receptor Subunits.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Vertebrate organisms adapt to a continuously changing environment by regulating the strength of synaptic connections between brain cells. Excitatory synapses are believed to increase their strength by vesicular insertion of transmitter glutamate ...

Glycopolymer vesicles with an asymmetric membrane [PDF]

Chemical Communications, 2009
Direct dissolution of glycosylated polybutadiene-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers can lead to the spontaneous formation of vesicles or membranes, which on the outside are coated with glucose and on the inside with poly(ethylene oxide).

Theoretical model for the formation of caveolae and similar membrane invaginations [PDF]

, 2004
We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid lipid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation.

Opportunities for engineering Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) using synthetic biology approaches [PDF]

, 2023
Gram-negative bacteria naturally shed lipid vesicles, which contain complex molecular cargoes, from their outer membrane. These outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have important biological functions relating to microbial stress responses, microbiome ...

Delivery of virulence factors by bacterial membrane vesicles to mammalian host cells

, 2020
Bacterial membrane vesicles represent a universal secretion mechanism enabling both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms to transfer cargo to eukaryotic cells, as well as to other bacterial cells.

Secretory vesicles are preferentially targeted to areas of low molecular SNARE density [PDF]

, 2012
Intercellular communication is commonly mediated by the regulated fusion, or exocytosis, of vesicles with the cell surface. SNARE (soluble N-ethymaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins are the catalytic core of the secretory ...

Membrane Vesicles as Drug Delivery Systems: MISEV, In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging and Tracking, Specific Tissue Targeting, and Therapeutic Application in Diseases

Pharmaceutics
In the last decade, notable developments have occurred regarding the application of membrane vesicles—encompassing extracellular vesicles (EVs, including exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and others), self-organized cellular-membrane-derived ...

The Contribution of Membrane Vesicles to Bacterial Pathogenicity in Cystic Fibrosis Infections and Healthcare Associated Pneumonia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Almost all bacteria secrete spherical membranous nanoparticles, also referred to as membrane vesicles (MVs). A variety of MV types exist, ranging from 20 to 400 nm in diameter, each with their own formation routes.

Membrane Fusion in Vesicles of Oligomerizable Lipids [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 1999
Membrane fusion has been examined in a model system of small unilamellar vesicles of synthetic lipids that can be oligomerized through the lipid headgroups. The oligomerization can be induced either in both bilayer leaflets or in the inner leaflet exclusively.
