The compromised biocompatibility and biological features of present nanorobotic design have limited their development in biomedical community due to the dependence on inorganic materials. Here we ...

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanometer-scale, spherical vehicles released by Gram-negative bacteria into their surroundings throughout growth. These OMVs have been demonstrated to play ...

Gram-negative bacteria can naturally produce nanosized spherical outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) with a lipid bilayer membrane, possessing immunostimulatory capabilities to be potentially applied in ...

In numerous studies, bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have proved attractive as vaccine platform for homologous bacterial strains, but also as antigen delivery platform for heterologous ...

These vesicles are derived from the cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and are composed of bacterial proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other components.

This review focuses on nonlytic outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), a subtype of bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) produced by Gram-negative organisms focusing on the mechanisms of their biogenesis, ...
