Exosomes are a subtype of membrane-contained vesicles 40–200 nm in diameter that are
secreted by cells into their surroundings. By transporting proteins, lipids, mRNA, miRNA …

Mitochondria are believed to have originated through an ancient endosymbiotic process in
which proteobacteria were captured and co-opted for energy production and cellular …

Summary β-Coronaviruses are a family of positive-strand enveloped RNA viruses that
includes the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Much is …

The sustained growth, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells depend upon bidirectional
cell–cell communication within complex tissue environments. Such communication …

Intercellular communication was long thought to be regulated exclusively through direct
contact between cells or via release of soluble molecules that transmit the signal by binding …

Microplastics represent a growing environmental concern for the oceans due to their
potential of adsorbing chemical pollutants, thus representing a still unexplored source of …

Long-and short-distance communication can take multiple forms. Among them are
exosomes and ectosomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from the cell to deliver …

Exosomes are vesicles secreted to the extracellular environment through fusion with the
plasma membrane of specific endosomes called multivesicular bodies (MVB) and mediate …

We examined the luminal pH of individual lysosomes using quantitative ratiometric
fluorescence microscopy and report an unappreciated heterogeneity: peripheral lysosomes …

Rab7 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rab family and controls transport to late
endocytic compartments such as late endosomes and lysosomes. The mechanism of action …
