A new algorithm analyses membrane shape to extract forces applied by ... The intracellular compartments, for example vesicles and organelles, define the spatial organization of metabolic pathways ...

Extracellular vesicles can provide a wealth of information ... If all particles had the same shape and composition, the output measurement would be directly comparable. But, van der Pol cautions ...

The team works with giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are simple, cell-sized structures that mimic living cells. Using DNA nanorobots, the researchers were able to influence the shape and ...

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells produce minute (40-1000 nm) membrane vesicles that are released into the local environment. These extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, ...
