Immunohistochemical detection of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in fetal and adult bovine epididymis: Release by the apocrine secretion mode? [PDF]

, 2006
Originally defined as a lymphokine inhibiting the random migration of macrophages, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important mediator of the host response to infection.

Fluid Vesicles in Flow [PDF]

, 2014
We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity, hydrodynamic flows, and the ever present thermal fluctuations leads to a rich ...

Contribution of bacterial outer membrane vesicles to innate bacterial defense

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are constitutively produced by Gram-negative bacteria throughout growth and have proposed roles in virulence, inflammation, and the response to envelope stress.

Incorporation of Plasmid DNA Into Bacterial Membrane Vesicles by Peptidoglycan Defects in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Membrane vesicles (MVs) are released by various prokaryotes and play a role in the delivery of various cell-cell interaction factors. Recent studies have determined that these vesicles are capable of functioning as mediators of horizontal gene transfer ...

Spontaneous Expulsion of Giant Lipid Vesicles Induced by Laser Tweezers [PDF]

, 1996
Irradiation of a giant unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicle with a focused laser spot leads to a tense pressurized state which persists indefinitely after laser shutoff.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicle nanorobot

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Autonomous nanorobots represent an advanced tool for precision therapy to improve therapeutic efficacy. However, current nanorobotic designs primarily rely on inorganic materials with compromised biocompatibility and limited biological functions. Here, we introduce enzyme-powered bacterial outer membrane vesicle (OMV) nanorobots. The immobilized urease

Cholesterol affected dynamics of lipids in tailor-made vesicles by ArcVes software during multi micro second coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations

AIMS Biophysics, 2023
In biotechnology, as well as in nanomedicine, vesicular structures are essential features of the cellular life cycle. Lipid compositions define the applicability of the vesicles.

Dynamical regimes and hydrodynamic lift of viscous vesicles under shear [PDF]

, 2009
The dynamics of two-dimensional viscous vesicles in shear flow, with different fluid viscosities $\eta_{\rm in}$ and $\eta_{\rm out}$ inside and outside, respectively, is studied using mesoscale simulation techniques. Besides the well-known tank-treading

The structure of the COPII transport-vesicle coat assembled on membranes

eLife, 2013
Coat protein complex II (COPII) mediates formation of the membrane vesicles that export newly synthesised proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum. The inner COPII proteins bind to cargo and membrane, linking them to the outer COPII components that form a

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
