Bhanu P. Jena’s Research
Secretion is a fundamental process through which cells communicate with their environment and exchange information in a multicellular context to reach homeostasis and sustain life. The nanoscale transmembrane cup-shaped lipoprotein structure discovered by Prof. Jena and named the ‘porosome’ has since the original discovery in 1996, been implicated in a wide range of secretory events, including the release of exosome-like vesicular bodies.
