Investigating the consistency of extracellular vesicle production from breast cancer subtypes using CELLine adherent bioreactors

Journal of Extracellular Biology, 2022
Extracellular vesicle (EV) research has grown rapidly in recent years, largely due to the potential use of EVs as liquid biopsy biomarkers or therapeutics.

Platelet removal from human blood plasma improves detection of extracellular vesicle‐associated miRNA

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2023
Human blood plasma prepared by centrifugation contains not only extracellular vesicles (EVs) but also platelets and erythrocyte ghosts (ery‐ghosts).

Recent Progress in Quantitatively Monitoring Vesicular Neurotransmitter Release and Storage With Micro/Nanoelectrodes

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Exocytosis is one of the essential steps for chemical signal transmission between neurons. In this process, vesicles dock and fuse with the plasma membrane and release the stored neurotransmitters through fusion pores into the extracellular space, and ...

Ubiquitous macropinocytosis in anthozoans

eLife, 2020
Transport of fluids, molecules, nutrients or nanoparticles through coral tissues are poorly documented. Here, we followed the flow of various tracers from the external seawater to within the cells of all tissues in living animals.

Membrane Trafficking Proteins: A New Target to Identify Resistance to Viruses in Plants

Plants, 2021
Replication cycles from most simple-stranded positive RNA viruses infecting plants involve endomembrane deformations. Recent published data revealed several interactions between viral proteins and plant proteins associated with vesicle formation and ...

Inceptor facilitates acrosomal vesicle formation in spermatids and is required for male fertility

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Spermatogenesis is a crucial biological process that enables the production of functional sperm, allowing for successful reproduction. Proper germ cell differentiation and maturation require tight regulation of hormonal signals, cellular signaling ...

Survival of red blood cells after transfusion: processes and consequences

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
The currently available data suggest that efforts towards improving the quality of red blood cell (RBC) blood bank products should concentrate on: (1) preventing the removal of a considerable fraction of the transfused RBCs that takes place within the ...

A Self-Assembled Aggregate Composed of a Fatty Acid Membrane and the Building Blocks of Biological Polymers Provides a First Step in the Emergence of Protocells

Life, 2016
We propose that the first step in the origin of cellular life on Earth was the self-assembly of fatty acids with the building blocks of RNA and protein, resulting in a stable aggregate.

SNARE-Mediated Exocytosis in Neuronal Development

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
The formation of the nervous system involves establishing complex networks of synaptic connections between proper partners. This developmental undertaking requires the rapid expansion of the plasma membrane surface area as neurons grow and polarize ...
