Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) induce the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in nonmalignant cells to promote invasion and cancer metastasis, representing a novel therapeutic target in...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a high fatality rate, mainly due to its asymptomatic nature until late-stage disease and therefore delayed diagnosis that leads to a lack of timely treatment intervention. Consequently, there is a significant need for better methods ...

Non-invasive, prompt, and proper detection tools for kidney graft injuries (KGIs) are awaited to ensure graft longevity. Researchers at the Sapporo City General Hospital screened diagnostic biomarkers for KGIs...

Human milk-derived extracellular vesicles (HMEVs) are crucial functional components in breast milk, contributing to infant health and development...

The hope is that a drop of solution containing the nanocarriers, delivered to the lungs via the nose, could treat acute respiratory distress syndrome, one of the most frequent causes of respiratory failure...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector has shown multiple clinical breakthroughs, but its clinical implementation in inhaled gene therapy remains...

  The body is pretty good at healing itself, though more severe wounds can require bandages or stitches. But researchers at Nanjing University have developed a wound-healing ink that can actively encourage the body to heal by exposing the cut to ...

Cell-based therapies have been used as promising treatments for several untreatable diseases. However, cell-based therapies have side effects such as tumorigenesis and immune responses. To overcome these side effects, therapeutic effects of exosomes..

“A new pandemic,” warns Claudia Banchio, a council researcher and group leader at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario (IBR, CONICET-UNR), when she indicates that by 2050 it is estimated that the incidence of diseases such as ...

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, are essential causes of death and long-term disability and are difficult to cure, mainly due to the limited neuron regeneration and the glial scar formation. Researchers ...
