Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created the world’s simplest artificial cell capable of chemical navigation, migrating toward specific substances like living ...

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other ...

Microscopic extracellular vesicles bound to a surface in the shape of circles. Scientists made this pattern with LEVA (light-induced extracellular vesicle and particle adsorption). In stunning new ...

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, ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...
