The research is conducted by a team from the Division of Life Science at HKUST, led by doctoral student Mr. QIU Hua (left) and RGC Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. WU Xiandeng (right). Researchers at the Hong ...

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, ...

Drug development is aiming to move from managing disease to correcting it through RNA and gene-editing therapies.

Researchers analyzed small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from different cell types. Different sEVs delivered siRNA to ...

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

Scientists haven’t had a precise way to arrange and study surface-bound extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) as they guide cell behavior. Researchers developed LEVA, which uses patterned ...

Fibroblasts are the quiet workers of the skin. They help build collagen and other support fibers in the dermis, the deeper layer that keeps skin firm, flexible, and able to recover from daily wear.

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, ...

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 ...

The capture of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) by cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contributes to metastasis and notably to the formation of the pre-metastatic niche (PMN).

Graça Raposo was a young postdoc in the Netherlands in 1996 when she discovered that cells in her laboratory were sending secret messages to each other. She was exploring how immune cells react to ...
