Cell Biology
Vesicle
A small membrane-bound sac that transports materials within cells or between cells and their environment. Vesicles move proteins, neurotransmitters, and other cargo.
Biological Context
Vesicles are cellular delivery trucks. They bud from one membrane and fuse with another, delivering contents. Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitters. Vesicle trafficking is precisely regulated.
Business Application
Organizational vesicles: the packages and processes that transport resources between departments. Email threads, project handoffs, and inventory transfers are business vesicles.
