In an article published in Frontiers in Microbiology, scientists have described the utility of gram-negative bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles as vaccines and methods to expand their ...

Double-membrane vesicles have inner and outer lipid bilayers. While scientists previously predicted that these membranes fold and warp themselves into a variety of shapes, researchers could not ...

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are membrane-bound particles between 20 and 400 nanometers (nm) in size that are secreted by bacteria. BEVs carry bioactive agents that mediate cell-to-cell ...

Glowing bacteria use bioluminescence to tell synthetic vesicles when to hitch a ride and when to let go, enabling fully ...

Membrane compartments (vesicles) were prepared from two phospholipids with distinct acyl-chain structures, each encapsulating a different DNA species. Upon repeated freeze–thaw (F/T) cycles, the ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer particles secreted by cells that mediate intercellular communication ...

A fingernail-sized chip can now trap thousands of individual cell-shed vesicles in roughly three seconds and read their ...
