Double-membrane vesicles form five common shapes through spontaneous self-organization, offering insight into lipid body intricacies. The study's findings could inspire synthetic materials and bio-inspired drug delivery systems.
Scientists discovered that tiny brain bubbles called small extracellular vesicles carry more complete instructions for altering cellular function than previously thought. Researchers found nearly 80% of identified mRNAs were full-length, allowing them to be transcribed by recipient cells into viable proteins.
Extracellular vesicles have been found to transport bacterial products into human cells, alerting the immune system and potentially affecting physiology. This discovery explains a key mechanism by which bacteria impact our health, with implications for both infections and normal bodily functions.
Researchers at UC Davis discovered how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain, providing a new mechanism for understanding brain maturation and finding treatments for neurological conditions. This discovery opens new possibilities for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and P...
Researchers developed a simple purification method using surfactants to separate hydrophobic DNA nanostructures from aggregates, enabling the construction of artificial cells and complex functions in molecular robots. The purified structures retain their ability to bind lipid vesicle surfaces.
Researchers at Tohoku University have successfully created capsule-like DNA structures using two different types of nanostructures that can stick together. These structures can form water-in-oil droplets with patch-like patterns depending on the concentration of each type, and can be used to carry substances to specific target organs o...
Researchers develop method to convert spherical lipid vesicles into 2D nanosheets and back again in a controlled process. The reversible conversion enables the creation of ultra-thin flexible nanosheets with valuable properties for biomembrane studies and applications.
