Multiparametric Analysis of Circulating Exosomes and Other Small Extracellular Vesicles by Advanced Imaging Flow Cytometry

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are responsible for a multitude of physiological functions, including immunomodulation. A heterogenous mixture of small EV (sEV) subsets, including putative exosomes, is derived when commonly used “exosome” isolation ...

Membrane trafficking in health and disease

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Membrane trafficking pathways are essential for the viability and growth of cells, and play a major role in the interaction of cells with their environment.

SNARE-Mediated Exocytosis in Neuronal Development

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Thermo-Statistical Effects of Inclusions on Vesicles: Division into Multispheres and Polyhedral Deformation

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
The construction of simple cellular models has attracted much attention as a way to explore the origin of life or elucidate the mechanisms of cell division.

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

open access: yesLife, 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.

Ubiquitous macropinocytosis in anthozoans

open access: yeseLife, 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.

A Synthetic Vesicle-to-Vesicle Communication System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
A molecular signal displayed on the external surface of one population of vesicles was used to trigger a catalytic process on the inside of a second population of vesicles. The key recognition event is the transfer of a protein (NeutrAvidin) bound to vesicles displaying desthiobiotin to vesicles displaying biotin.

Survival of red blood cells after transfusion: processes and consequences

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Mechanisms of Exocytosis

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2009
Vesicles are cellular organelles, in which signaling molecules (neurotransmitters or hormones) are stored and are essential for the function of neurons and endocrine cells in supporting the communication between tissues and organs.

Considerations for Measuring Activity-Dependence of Recruitment of Synaptic Vesicles to the Readily Releasable Pool

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2019
The connection strength of most chemical synapses changes dynamically during normal use as a function of the recent history of activity. The phenomenon is known as short-term synaptic plasticity or synaptic dynamics, and is thought to be involved in ...
