Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that in recent years have received special attention for
their regulatory functions in numerous biological processes. Recent evidence suggests a …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous dynamic organelles that store and supply lipids in all
eukaryotic and some prokaryotic cells for energy metabolism, membrane synthesis, and …

Membrane curvature is no longer seen as a passive consequence of cellular activity but an
active means to create membrane domains and to organize centres for membrane …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the simplest cellular glycerophospholipid characterized by unique
biophysical properties: a small headgroup; negative charge; and a phosphomonoester …

Biological membranes exhibit various function-related shapes, and the mechanism by which
these shapes are created is largely unclear. Here, we classify possible curvature-generating …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) has emerged as a new class of lipid mediators involved in diverse
cellular functions in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Considerable progress has been …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are messengers that carry information in the form of proteins,
lipids, and nucleic acids and are not only essential for intercellular communication but also …

Endocytosis, phagocytosis, and macropinocytosis are fundamental processes that enable
cells to sample their environment, eliminate pathogens and apoptotic bodies, and regulate …
