Active elastohydrodynamics of vesicles in narrow, blind constrictions [PDF]
, 2017 Fluid-resistance limited transport of vesicles through narrow constrictions is a recurring theme in many biological and engineering applications. Inspired by the motor-driven movement of soft membrane-bound vesicles into closed neuronal dendritic spines,

LRRK2 Modulates the Exocyst Complex Assembly by Interacting with Sec8
Cells, 2021 Mutations in LRRK2 play a critical role in both familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Up to date, the role of LRRK2 in PD onset and progression remains largely unknown.

Alternate routes to the cell surface underpin insulin-regulated membrane trafficking of GLUT4 [PDF]
, 2015 Insulin-stimulated delivery of glucose transporters (GLUT4) from specialized intracellular GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs) to the surface of fat and muscle cells is central to whole-body glucose.

The role of clathrin in post-golgi trafficking in toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2013 Apicomplexan parasites are single eukaryotic cells with a highly polarised secretory system that contains unique secretory organelles (micronemes and rhoptries) that are required for host cell invasion.

Aberrant lysosomal carbohydrate storage accompanies endocytic defects and neurodegeneration in Drosophila benchwarmer [PDF]
, 2005 Lysosomal storage is the most common cause of neurodegenerative brain disease in preadulthood. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms that lead to neuronal dysfunction are unknown.

Distinct stages in the recognition, sorting, and packaging of proTGFα into COPII-coated transport vesicles. [PDF]
, 2016 In addition to its role in forming vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the coat protein complex II (COPII) is also responsible for selecting specific cargo proteins to be packaged into COPII transport vesicles.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal in soil that seriously threatens crop production, food security, and human health. Syntaxins, a prototype family of Soluble N-ethyl-maleimide-associated protein receptors (SNAREs) involved in vesicle trafficking, are ...
