Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles released by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells with a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication in both physiological and pathological conditions. Exosomes contain and transfer active biomolecules, including nucleic acids..

Exosomes are one type of membrane vesicles secreted into extracellular space by most types of cells. In addition to performing many biological functions particularly in cell-cell communication, cumulative evidence has suggested that several biological entities in exosomes like proteins and ...

Schematic diagram of pathways for formation of mineralizing exosomes (matrix vesicles). Numerous studies have documented that matrix vesicles are unique extracellular membrane-bound microparticles that serve as initial sites for mineral formation in the growth plate and most other vertebrate mineralizing ...

The ability of a cell to receive signals from other cells and then translate them into changes in cell behavior plays crucial roles in development and tissue homeostasis. However, the deregulation of these carefully orchestrated events underlie the onset or ...

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Foundation is dedicated to education and competition, advancement of synthetic biology, and the development of open community and collaboration. In 2012, iGEM spun out of MIT and became an independent nonprofit organization located in ...

Exosomes are small extracellular microvesicles that have an endosomal origin and are gaining increasing recognition for their important roles in mediating cell-cell communication. The content of exosomes includes a broad range of bioactive molecules, such as miRNA and signaling molecules ...

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular signaling in the brain without requiring direct contact between cells. Although exosomes have been shown to play a role in neurological diseases and in response to nerve trauma, a role for exosome-mediated ...
