Vesicular trafficking refers to the process by which tiny sacs, called vesicles, transport various substances within a cell. These vesicles act like small vehicles, moving different molecules and cellular components from one part of the cell to another. This helps the cell carry out important functions, such as communication, recycling waste, and storing or secreting materials. So,
vesicular trafficking is like the cell's internal delivery system that ensures everything goes to the right place at the right time.

in vesicular traffic between the biosynthetic» (2006)
We are investigating the roles of various transcription factors, kinases, and molecules involved in
intracellular vesicular traffic in order to understand the differentiation of Vα14 iNKT cells.
The molecular machinery involved in
this vesicular traffic is partially shared with the machinery controlling transport at the neuronal synapse.
