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 ...

Synapsin selectively controls the mobility of resting pool vesicles at hippocampal terminals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Presynaptic terminals are specialized sites for information transmission where vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane and are locally recycled. Recent work has extended this classical view, with the observation that a subset of functional vesicles is ...

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 ...

Slow sedimentation and deformability of charged lipid vesicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The study of vesicles in suspension is important to understand the complicated dynamics exhibited by cells in vivo and in vitro. We developed a computer simulation based on the boundary-integral method to model the three dimensional gravity-driven ...

A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

Extracellular RNA in oncogenesis, metastasis and drug resistance

open access: yesRNA Biology
Extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles (EVPs) are now recognized as a novel form of cell–cell communication. All cells release a wide array of heterogeneous EVPs with distinct protein, lipid, and RNA content, dependent on the pathophysiological state ...

Soft Confinement for Polymer Solutions

open access: yes, 2014
As a model of soft confinement for polymers, we investigated equilibrium shapes of a flexible vesicle that contains a phase-separating polymer solution.

Density Functional Simulation of Spontaneous Formation of Vesicle in Block Copolymer Solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We carry out numerical simulations of vesicle formation based on the density functional theory for block copolymer solutions. It is shown by solving the time evolution equations for concentrations that a polymer vesicle is spontaneously formed from the ...
