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 produced by bacteria and can interact with leukocytes and other host cells to shape the immune response during infection. OMVs can have both pro-inflammatory and ...

Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles: An Emerging Tool in Vaccine Development, as Adjuvants, and for Therapeutic Delivery, Drug Delivery Letters, DOI: 10.2174/2210303107666170725163826 ...

In an article published in Frontiers in Microbiology, scientists have described the utility of gram-negative bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles as vaccines and methods to expand their ...

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 ...

The current study examines the effects following exposure of sperm to outer membrane vesicles (OMVs ... evasion proteins, and bacterial toxins. OMVs participate in protective functions, such ...

He will also test bacteria recovered from processed contaminated ... foundation for further studies into the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicle (OMV) under various naturally occurring conditions ...

A Meningococcal Outer Membrane Vesicle Vaccine with Overexpressed Mutant FHbp Elicits Higher Protective Antibody Responses in Infant Rhesus Macaques than a Licensed Serogroup B Vaccine. mBio ...

This outer membrane is involved in allowing nutrients into the cell and adhering to other, nearby cells, a function that plays a role in infections. Gram-positive bacteria, on the other hand, lack ...

In addition, some of the E. coli cells also produced outer membrane vesicles—small capsules that form outside the cell walls and act as messengers for cells to communicate with each other, Zea said.
