Scientists from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed an in-vitro vesicle formation assay, shedding light on ...

Nature Cell Biology - Sec-rets of COPII coat formation. Skip to main content. ... The authors went on to show that Sec31 could form vesicles in vitro in the absence of Sec13; ...

Using x-ray crystallography, researchers have produced the first images of a large molecular complex that helps shape and load the small, bubble-like vesicles that transport newly formed proteins ...

"The existence of any vesicles on Titan would demonstrate an increase in order and complexity, which are conditions necessary ...

One key finding is that subtypes of COPII vesicles seem to have specialised in transporting certain types of proteins," stresses Dr Frank Adolf, the study's primary author.

While the release of neurotransmitters from vesicles is speedy, we always thought vesicle formation was slow. It turns out that vesicle formation can zip along much faster than we thought.

Vesicle formation and transport within the cell ; Changes in cell shape or size through the building or breaking of cytoskeleton; Lipid synthesis and transport to various membrane-bound organelles; ...

The osteoblast communication via extracellular vesicles controls the dynamic transition from bone-forming to bone-resorbing phases in vivo and could be a target for new treatments for bone diseases.
