Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Researchers developed novel pH-responsive nanoparticles using poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). These nanoparticles efficiently deliver drugs by escaping cellular endosomes, showing promise for advanced drug and gene delivery.
