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

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 ...

From immunology to tumor biology, extracellular vesicle research is a growing field with diagnostic and therapeutic potential that researchers across life science disciplines can tap into with ...

With a growing number of exosome-based delivery vehicles advancing into the clinic for therapeutics and vaccines, more effective isolation and separation strategies are needed. Finnish researchers ...

Ischemic stroke remains a leading global cause of disability and mortality, and a major challenge in stroke treatment is "reperfusion injury"—where return of blood flow causes oxidative stress and ...

Within each of us lies an army of cells whose topmost duty is protecting against external pathogens and internal threats such as proliferating cancer cells. Yet, immune cells can sometimes erroneously ...

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 ...

Researcher Marley Dewey, an assistant professor of bioengineering at UC Santa Barbara, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research award to support her work on recently discovered ...

(Nanowerk News) Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in modern biology. These nano-sized messengers mediate communication between cells, tissues, ...
