Information about Vesicles

Vesicle may refer to
  • Vesicle (biology), a relatively small and enclosed compartment within a cell
  • Vesicular texture, a small enclosed cavity found in some volcanic rock, such as basalt
  • Vesicle (adhesive tape), a blister of glue on adhesive tape that is burst when pressure is applied
  • Vesicle (lipidomics), a unilamellar phospholipid liposome studied by biophysical chemists for understanding biomembranes and developing new vehicles for drug delivery
vesicle is a relatively small and enclosed compartment, separated from the cytosol by at least one lipid bilayer. If there is only one lipid bilayer, they are called unilamellar vesicles; otherwise they are called multilamellar.

Vesicular texture is a volcanic rock texture characterised by, or containing, many vesicles. The texture is often found in extrusive aphanitic, or glassy, igneous rock.

Lipidomics is the large-scale study of non-water-soluble metabolites (lipids or Lipidome). Key technologies used in lipidomics research include electrospray ionization, mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

liposome is a spherical vesicle composed of a bilayer membrane. In biology, this specifically refers to a membrane composed of a phospholipid and cholesterol bilayer (see on the right).
