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 ...

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

These particles, called extracellular vesicles, are considered attractive vehicle models for new drug therapies. But until now, researchers haven't had the complete picture of how they work.

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

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, ...

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

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