Vesikulaarisuus
Vesikulaarisuus refers to the property of being vesicular, meaning containing or characterized by vesicles. Vesicles are small, membrane-bound sacs within a cell or in biological fluids. In a cellular context, vesicularity is crucial for various biological processes. For instance, the transport of molecules within a cell, such as proteins and lipids, often occurs via vesicles. These vesicles bud off from one organelle and fuse with another, effectively moving their contents. Endocytosis and exocytosis are key cellular mechanisms that involve the formation and fusion of vesicles to internalize or secrete substances.
Beyond cellular biology, the term can also describe materials that exhibit a vesicular structure, meaning they
