Diagnosing and treating cancer can be a race against time. By the time the disease is diagnosed in a patient, all too often it is advanced and able to spread throughout the body, decreasing chances...

Researchers at TU Wien have succeeded for the first time in analyzing nanovesicles and proteins in parallel. This is important to determine the quality of a sample and to clearly attribute effects to the...

Researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed macrophage-tumor chimeric exosomes that co-activate the immune response...

In order for a tumour to grow, its cells need to communicate with one another. Disrupting this communication can help to fight the tumour...

When it comes to cancer detection, size matters. Traditional diagnostic imaging cannot detect tumors smaller than a certain size, causing missed...

Scientists hope that tiny sacs of material excreted by cells – so-called extracellular vesicles – can be used to deliver drugs inside the body. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet now show that these nano-bubbles can transport protein drugs that reduce inflammation ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano and submicron sized bioparticles produced by most of the cells in our body. They contain biological information such...

To exchange chemicals and molecules between one another, cells will usually enclose the content inside an extracellular vesicle, much like putting a letter...

NIH study identifies possible target for certain neurodegenerative disorders. Nerve cells (neurons) send signals throughout the brain and the body...

Researchers at the University of Westminster have found that small pieces of cells which play a role in cell to cell communication are released following...
