Extracellular vesicles are produced by species across all domains of life, suggesting that
vesiculation represents a fundamental principle of living matter. In Gram-negative bacteria …

Secretion of cellular components across the plasma membrane is an essential process that
enables organisms to interact with their environments. Production of extracellular vesicles in …

Microorganisms colonize various ecological niches in the human habitat, as they do in
nature. Predominant forms of multicellular communities called biofilms colonize human …

Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-derived lipid bilayers secreted by bacteria and
eukaryotic cells. Bacterial membrane vesicles were discovered over 60 years ago and have …

The intestinal microbiota influences mammalian host physiology in health and disease
locally in the gut but also in organs devoid of direct contact with bacteria such as the liver …

Grampositive bacteria ubiquitously produce membrane vesicles (MVs), and although they
contribute to biological functions, our knowledge regarding their composition and …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Both extracellular RNAs and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently garnered attention as
novel mediators of intercellular communication in eukaryotes and prokaryotes alike. EVs not …
