The research is conducted by a team from the Division of Life Science at HKUST, led by doctoral student Mr. QIU Hua (left) and RGC Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. WU Xiandeng (right). Researchers at the Hong ...

Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma ...

Researchers from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) have published a review analyzing the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells to ...

Graça Raposo was a young postdoc in the Netherlands in 1996 when she discovered that cells in her laboratory were sending secret messages to each other. She was exploring how immune cells react to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...
