EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS: A REVIEW

Background & Aims: Extracellular vesicles are double phospholipid layer vesicles releasing from several cells.  These particles contain bio-molecules including mRNA, miRNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids which play a pivotal role in the cell to cell communication. Once delivered, they participate to change target cell function, fate, morphology, differentiation, and growth. The present study is a re...

Dynamic, artificial cells and vesicles

Scott Long et al. have constructed synthetic cells comprised of lipid bilayer membranes surrounding a two-phase, aqueous polymer solution that can be reversibly converted to a single phase. An understanding of compartmentalization in cell function has been hampered by the lack of an experimental model system. Using a previously developed method, the authors constructed artificial cells by encap...

Condensed complexes in vesicles containing cholesterol and phospholipids.

Animal cell membranes pose conceptual problems related to the physical chemistry of liquids. An avenue to the solution of some of these problems has been opened by the discovery of liquid-liquid immiscibility in synthetic membranes composed of cholesterol and phospholipids. This discovery has led to the development of a thermodynamic model involving condensed complexes. In this model, the phosp...
