Buckling of an axisymmetric vesicle under compression: the effects of resistance to shear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider the axisymmetric deformation of an initially spherical, porous vesicle with incompressible membrane having finite resistance to in-plane shearing, as the vesicle is compressed between parallel plates.

Outer membrane vesicle vaccines for Neisseria gonorrhoeae

open access: yes, 2021
Multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a global health problem, and the development of a vaccine is considered essential for the effective control of gonorrhoea. The use of outer membrane vesicle vaccines to prevent N.

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 ...

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.

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.

Activity-induced propulsion of a vesicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Modern biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery require a delivery system capable of enhanced transport beyond that of passive Brownian diffusion. In this work an osmotic mechanism for the propulsion of a vesicle immersed in a viscous fluid

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 ...

Chemistry in a vesicle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 2017
Slow fusion pore expansion could retain molecules within vesicles, enabling a chemical reaction that modifies secreted products.
