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 ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-bound particles released by cells to transport proteins and other molecules to ...

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles and particles are central to how cells communicate, especially in cancer, where they help shape metastasis and treatment resistance. However, most existing methods analyze ...

Cells have a clever way called clathrin-mediated endocytosis to transport cargos like growth factors across the cell membrane and into the cell. Researchers used a sophisticated fluorescence ...

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

Though originally thought of as strictly a waste disposal system, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to have myriad cell communication functions. Recent research has resulted in a deeper ...

Polymers that repel each other can spontaneously phase-separate inside artificial vesicles, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the droplets and ...

The interaction of lipid vesicles (liposomes) of several different compositions with erythrocytes has been investigated. Lecithin liposomes, rendered positively charged with stearylamine, exhibit ...

LMU scientists show in mouse model that extracellular vesicles boost T cells. As a major component of the immune system, T cells play a critical role in fighting off viral infections. A team led by ...
