New Brunswick, N.J. – The mechanism by which small cellular vesicles promote melanoma metastasis (spread of disease), will be further explored by investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University. A ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, membrane-enclosed entities released from cells in many different biological systems. These vesicles play an important role in cellular communication by virtue of their protein, RNA, and lipid content, which can be transferred among cells. The ...

The artery medial layer is mainly composed of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). These cells contribute to the formation of neointima and atherosclerotic plaques by switching from the quiescent-contractile to migratory-activated state. Apoptotic blebs, microvesicles and exosomes are secreted vesicles, ...
