Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and many other EV subtypes, have emerged ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, ...

All cells, from bacteria to mammalian cells, produce extracellular vesicles—tiny membrane-enclosed packages of bioactive cargo. 1 Until relatively recently, scientists believed these organic ...

A research team at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Faculty of Medicine at Kanazawa University has developed a new class of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) capable of ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) could serve as outstanding drug delivery vehicles. Their low toxicity and low immunogenicity would make them useful in sustained treatment or redosing scenarios. But there ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that extracellular vesicles transport functionally active hormones. Specifically, it shows that porcine seminal extracellular vesicles carry oxytocin at levels ...
