Researchers at Texas A&M University reported that two intranasal doses of extracellular vesicles derived from human neural ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have demonstrated that vesicles traveling between cells in the brain carry more complete instructions for altering cellular function than previously thought. In ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny bubbles released by cells, acting as cargo vessels through which cells exchange signals and thus communicate. A paper recently published in the journal Cell ...

A common brain protein may be giving Alzheimer’s disease an unexpected way to spread, carrying toxic Tau proteins from ...

A team led by Jason Shepherd at the University of Utah has identified the protein responsible for loading toxic tau into tiny ...

Summary: Alzheimer’s disease is pathologically characterized by the progressive accumulation of Tau, a structural protein ...

Learn about the brain proteins that could be helping Alzheimer's Disease spread but could also point to future treatments.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny bubbles released by cells, acting as cargo vessels through which cells exchange signals and thus communicate. A paper has demonstrated that this form of cellular ...

Video depiction of vesicle fusion and tethering. In the active zone in the central left of the video, docked vesicles (dark blue) fuse with the membrane, releasing their contents and being quickly ...
