Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, are released by all cells, including those of the nervous system. Capable of delivering lipid, protein and nucleic acids to both nearby and distal cells...

Researchers from the department of anatomy and cell biology in the UIC College of Medicine have received a seed grant to develop a new drug...

High-grade glial brain tumors are often characterized by an elevated expression of the tumorigenic epidermal growth factor receptor variant III ( EGFRvIII). researchers from the Apollo Hospitals Educational and Research Foundation sought to establish a clinically adaptive protocol as a noninvasive ...

Johns Hopkins researchers say they have identified a new way that cells in the brain alert the rest of the body to recruit immune cells when the brain is injured. The work was completed in mouse models that mimic infection, ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV), including exosomes, secreted vesicles of endocytic origin, and microvesicles derived from the plasma membrane, have been widely isolated and characterized from conditioned culture media and bodily fluids. The difficulty in isolating EV from tissues, however, has hindered ...

While the Visual Impairment and Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome observations have focused on ocular symptoms, spaceflight has been also associated with a number of other performance and neurologic signs, such as headaches, cognitive changes, vertigo, nausea, sleep/circadian disruption and mood ...

from Neuropsychopharmacology Reviews by Eva-Maria Krämer-Albers and Wen Ping Kuo-Elsne Brain homeostasis requires extensive signaling and information exchange between all types of neural cells, including neurons and glia. Recent studies indicated a pivotal role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in communication between neural ...

Exosomes, endocytic vesicles ranging in size from 40–100nm, have revolutionized the field of cell–cell communication. Although they were first described in the 1980s, detailed analysis of exosome biogenesis, composition and function has occurred primarily within the past decade. The significance ...

Recent studies have found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in normal and disease processes. In their recent study, a team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center isolated and characterized EVs from ...
