Arterial stenosis, the narrowing and stiffening of arteries common in atherosclerosis, can alter the transport of elastic ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

The central nervous system (CNS) is governed by complex intercellular communication networks that extend beyond traditional synaptic signaling. Soluble ...

Extracellular vesicles are tiny bubbles that allow cells and tissues to communicate within the body. They have potential to be adapted to deliver drugs. Professor of Biomedical Engineering Cheemeng ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental chemicals may also accelerate its spread.

Interactions of two voltage-gated calcium channels and a pump enable separate control of exocytosis and endocytosis at chemical synapses. Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous ...

A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet (KI) demonstrates how extracellular vesicles (EVs) activate the immune system in mice and seem to make their tumors sensitive to a checkpoint ...

Imaging live cells is key to reveal their inner workings, dynamics, and function. Current technological advances in confocal imaging can benefit from novel fluorescence labeling strategies and ...

Scientists from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed an in-vitro vesicle formation assay, shedding light on cargo ...
