Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other ...

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

Extracellular vesicles play a vital role in cell biology, modulating communication and signaling, with potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics.

Researchers at Hudson Institute of Medical Research, working with the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, are ...

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells produce minute (40-1000 nm) membrane vesicles that are released into the local environment. These extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, ...

During the first 72 hours in particular, extracellular vesicles—nanoparticles enclosed in cell membranes—play a significant role in the embryonic development of zebrafish.

Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynecological malignancy, is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women.

A recent study showed that paracrine delivery of miR-21a-5p by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived apoptotic bodies ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shuttle important biologically active molecules out of cells. Characterizing their size, density, biochemical composition, and cell of origin provide researchers with ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), a genetic disorder, shares overlapping features with chronic kidney disease, including ...
