Protein transport and sorting in the secretory and endocytic pathways via vesicles is required for organelle biogenesis, constitutive and regulated secretion and constitutive and regulated ...

Protein secretion and the transport of proteins between membrane-bound compartments are mediated by small, membrane-bound vesicles. Here I review what is known about the process by which vesicles ...

These particles, called extracellular vesicles, are considered attractive vehicle models for new drug therapies. But until now, researchers haven't had the complete picture of how they work.

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials.

In addition, elements consisting of actin and spectrin are thought to connect transport vesicles to microtubules. 20 Furthermore, actin microfilaments, together with myosin motor proteins, 21 form ...

Researchers have produced detailed images of the intricate protein-coats that surround "transport pods" that move material around within biological cells.

A recent research finding adds to evidence that brain inflammation is a major driver of neurodegenerative disorders such as ...

Vesicular transport regulates monoamine storage and release but is not essential for amphetamine action. Neuron 1997;19:1271-1283. Crossref. PubMed. Web of Science. Google Scholar. 23.

Transport vesicles that carry lysosomal hydrolases from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) then fuse with late endosomes, leading to maturation of late endosomes into lysosomes.

Transport to cell nucleus Using high-resolution live imaging techniques, the team was also able to show that extracellular vesicles enter the nucleus of neural progenitor cells during cell division.

Synthetic biology: proteins set vesicles in motion Date: May 19, 2023 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that ...
