Most cancer diagnostic techniques rely on uncomfortable and invasive procedures, such as biopsies, endoscopies or mammograms. Blood samples could be a less unpleasant option, though...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an inexpensive robust polymer that is commonly used as the fundamental fabrication material for soft-lithography-based microfluidic devices. Owing to its versatile...

Exosomes have previously been isolated from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and their anti-apoptotic properties reported. However, to further...

Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint...

Aberrant Wnt activation has been reported in failing cardiomyocytes. Researchers at University Medical Center Göttingen present single cell transcriptome profiling of hearts with inducible cardiomyocyte-specific Wnt activation (β-catΔex3) as well as with...

In a series of three papers on extracellular vesicles (EVs) — particles that cells use to communicate — Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nano Letters how high-speed atomic force microscopy can be used to assess the effectivity of spike-neutralizing antibodies for preventing COVID-19. The use of...

Despite significant therapeutic advances, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have a very poor overall five-year survival rate of...

NUS scientists have fabricated nano-sized vesicles from cells via a cell shearing approach that can be used for various biomedical applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are naturally occurring...

Extracellular vesicles are considered to be an inflammatory factor in several acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. Researchers from Kyoto Prefectural University demonstrate that exosomes from...
