Justus Ndukaife, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and Chancellor Faculty Fellow, and his team have ...

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 ...

Extracellular vesicles and particles are central to how cells communicate, especially in cancer, where they help shape metastasis and treatment resistance. However, most existing methods analyze ...

Glowing bacteria use bioluminescence to tell synthetic vesicles when to hitch a ride and when to let go, enabling fully ...

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 ...

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).

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 inside of a living cell is crowded with large, complex molecules. New research on how these molecules could spontaneously organize themselves could further our understanding of how cells manage ...

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 ...

Polymers that repel each other can spontaneously phase-separate inside artificial vesicles, like oils in a lava lamp. Interaction between droplets and the cell wall limits the size of the droplets and ...
