Project description
New Frontiers in Intercellular Communication
Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles are membrane-enclosed vesicles that contain proteins, RNA and lipids. They allow cells to communicate, not only with neighboring cells, but also with distant cells and tissues. And the newly discovered secretory amphisomes represent unexplored territory in the cell biology of secretion. This project will explore these intercellular communication pathways. The grant will fund the recipient, one postdoc, two PhD students, and purchase of new equipment.
