Liposomes encapsulating polymeric chitosan based vesicles - a vesicle in vesicle system for drug delivery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Drug delivery systems comprising vesicles prepared from one amphiphile encapsulating vesicles prepared from a second amphiphile have not been prepared previously due to a tendency of the bilayer components of the different vesicles to mix during ...

Activity-dependence of synaptic vesicle dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The proper function of synapses relies on efficient recycling of synaptic vesicles. The small size of synaptic boutons has hampered efforts to define the dynamical states of vesicles during recycling.

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

open access: yes, 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.

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.

Coordinated oscillations in cortical actin and Ca2+ correlate with cycles of vesicle secretion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The actin cortex both facilitates and hinders the exocytosis of secretory granules. How cells consolidate these two opposing roles was not well understood. Here we show that antigen activation of mast cells induces oscillations in Ca(2+) and PtdIns(4,5)P(

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.
