For more effective early-stage cancer diagnostics, there is a need to develop sensitive and specific, non- or minimally invasive, and cost-effective methods for identifying circulating nanoscale extracellular...

Codiak BioSciences, a clinical-stage company focused on pioneering the development of exosome-based therapeutics as a new class of medicines...

Cell-derived nanoparticles, so called Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), can reflect the physiological or pathological conditions of donor cells and can provide promising biomarkers for the non-invasive diagnosis of cancers. Size-based purification method is one of the common strategies for rapid extracting ...

The liver is one of the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis and is associated with high lethality. Although the interaction between tumor cells and their microenvironment at metastatic sites has been recognized as a key regulator of tumor ...

Mursla, a liquid biopsy company, has raised £410K from the UK Government’s Future Fund and existing investors. In addition, the organisation has secured a £40K COVID-19 grant from the Cambridgeshire Capital Grant Scheme. The funding will enable Mursla to finalise ...

A joint project led by Kumamoto University (Japan) has discovered a new mechanism for anticancer drug resistance in gastric cancer. Researchers found that the Annexin A6 molecule contained in...

According to a study by The Wistar Institute, breast cancer cells starved for oxygen send out messages that induce oncogenic changes in surrounding normal epithelial cells. These messages are packaged into particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) and reprogram mitochondrial shape ...

Researchers at the University of Genoa aimed to explore the involvement of miRNAs in beneficial effects exerted by physical activity in breast cancer prevention.The levels of extracellular miRNAs were evaluated in blood plasma before and after structured...

Soojung Claire Hur, the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, was selected by The Hartwell Foundation to receive a 2019 Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award. The award...

In a vertical climb to avoid collision with a towering mountain, a plane ejects cargo to gain altitude. Investigators at the University of Minnesota showed that cancer cells perform similar feats in escaping...
