The quantification of cancer-derived exosomes has a strong potential for minimally invasive diagnosis of cancer during its initial stage. As cancerous exosomes form a small fraction of all the exosomes present in blood, ultra-sensitive detection is a prerequisite for the ...

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have shown potential as an effective therapeutic tool for repairing bone defects. Researchers from the CHA University School of Medicine demonstrate...

A novel cascade signal amplification based on tyramide signal amplification (TSA) and surface-initiated enzymatic polymerization (SIEP) was first reported for the sensitive and template-free detection...

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) provide therapeutic effects in many diseases. Contrary to initial hypotheses, they act in a paracrine rather...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, with more than 3.6 million men living with prostate cancer...

Exosomes are generated within the multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) as intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) and secreted during the fusion of MVEs with the cell membrane. The mechanisms of exosome biogenesis

Despite extensive research during the past decade elucidating the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) in insects, it is not clear how ingested or injected double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) triggers RNAi response in the whole body or even its progeny...

Exosomes are physiologically secreted nanoparticles recently established as natural delivery systems involved in cell-to-cell communication and content exchange. Due to their inherent targeting potential, exosomes are currently being harnessed for the development of anti-cancer therapeutics. Clinical trials evaluating their effectiveness ...

Exosomes secrete from various cells and can be separated from all biological fluids, which possess the properties of their origin, and function as cell...

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and colleagues have developed a strategy that uses exosomes - tiny membrane-bound sacs secreted by cells - to mimic the heart-regenerating effects of cardiac cell transplants, while...
