Multivesicular Body

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are clusters of vesicles that are formed as a result of the fusion of several vesicles. They are structures composed of various proteins and lipids and play an important role in cell signaling.

MBTs are formed during the process of endocytosis, when cells absorb various molecules from the environment. Once absorbed, the molecules are packaged into vesicles and transported to the cell surface. When several vesicles merge, large MBTs are formed, which can contain various proteins and lipids.

The functions of MVTs are diverse and depend on the cell type and the signaling pathways they activate. For example, in neurons, MBTs may be involved in signaling between neurons and glial cells. In liver cells, MBTs play a role in lipid transport and cholesterol metabolism.

Multivesicular transport is an important process in cell biology, and studying MVT can help to better understand signaling mechanisms in various cells.

Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are structures consisting of many small vesicles located in the cytoplasm of cells. They play an important role in cellular communication and signaling within cells. In this article we will look at what multivesicular bodies are, their structure, functions and role in the body.

MBTs are membrane structures 30–150 nm in size, localized in the hyaloplasm and surrounded by phospholipids. Depending on the expected number of membranes, 2 types of MBT are distinguished: single-membrane vesicles (SP) and membrane-free vesicles (MF).
