When a parent experiences an infection while breastfeeding, their body can pass biological stress signals to the newborn ...

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 study led by the Innovation in Vesicles and Cells for Application in Therapy (IVECAT) group at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has identified a key mechanism regulating the ...

As a major component of the immune system, T cells play a critical role in fighting off viral infections. A team led by Prof. Thomas Brocker and Jan Kranich from LMU's Biomedical Center has ...

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 ...

A new statement describes the importance of extracellular vesicles as a new research target for understanding the causes of certain endocrine disorders such as cancer and diabetes and discovering new ...

Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...

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 ...

Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumors sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor.

In a recent publication in Nature Aging, a collaborative research team led by Chen-Yu Zhang, Xi Chen, Yanbo Wang and Lei Fang at Nanjing University presents a significant discovery: small ...
