Vesicles derived from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, or outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs), are heterogeneous in size and composition, encapsulate soluble periplasmic content and are ...

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are bacterial nanoparticles that are naturally produced during bacterial growth both in vitro and in vivo. OMVs can interact with many host cell types — including ...

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles are an emerging tool in the development of vaccine and also act as therapeutic and drug delivery agents, reveals a new study. Outer membrane vesicles, biological ...

New research from the University of Cincinnati demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a ...

She and her team are focused on a novel target: outer membrane vesicle--which are regularly shed by Gram negative bacteria, among the most challenging type of bacteria to treat. Her work has ...

Outer membrane vesicles, biological nanoparticles shed during normal growth by bacteria, have seen significant recent advances in engineering and are thus finding new utility as therapeutic and drug ...

Instead, Agarwal’s group decided to use Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs). OMVs are spherical membrane-bound particles released by some bacteria, and contain an assortment of proteins and lipids ...

The T-vant adjuvant is derived from bacterial outer membrane vesicles, tiny particles that naturally stimulate the immune system. The study found that the adjuvant encouraged a mucosal immune ...

Researchers from Niigata University and Kyoto Prefectural University have revealed that small vesicles, around 100 nm in size, released by intestinal bacteria induce immune activation and ...

Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the ...

have designed a new method under which a vaccine candidate for the disease can be delivered by making use of Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs). These spherical vesicles, which can be delivered to ...

New research demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a delivery system for vaccines and antiviral therapies.
