In polarized epithelial cells, the mammalian Exocyst ... If it is mainly nascent transport vesicles that contain active Rab GTPases, then only functional transport vesicles will bind to the ...

The vesicle is then known as a lysosome when its contents have been digested by the cell. Exocystosis is the process of membrane transport that releases cellular contents outside of the cell.

Extracellular vesicles carry proteins and other molecules from donor to recipient cells to alter physiological ... EVs must have ion channels to safely transport molecules from cellular interiors ...

Cells intake substances from the outside world by encapsulating them in vesicles called endosomes, which are subsequently ...

Our research group studies the mechanisms of protein trafficking and quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mammalian cells. A major focus of research is on the COPII protein machinery ...

These also include something known as extracellular vesicles (EV) that are released by cells and that are enclosed in a double membrane. They transport messenger substances such as proteins and ...

One way in which messenger RNA (mRNA) transmission happens is through extracellular vesicles. Cells secrete small-sized, membranous vesicles containing biomolecules, including RNA, and these are ...
