Cationic biomimetic exosomes were prepared using a novel micro-emulsion and micelle assembling method by introducing DEC205 monoclonal antibody as specific ligand to target dendritic cells (DCs). The Box-Behnken experimental design was applied for optimization of nanoliposomes (NLip) and DEC205 monoclonal ...

Leukemia immunotherapy frequently does not meet expectation, one of the handicaps being tumor exosome (TEX)-promoted immunosuppression. Researchers at the University Hospital of General Surgery asked, using the mouse myeloid leukemia WEHI3B and the renal cell carcinoma line RENCA, whether dendritic ...

In recent years exosomes have emerged as potent stimulators of immune responses and as agents for cancer therapy. Exosomes can carry a broad variety of immunostimulatory molecules depending on the cell of origin and in vitro culture conditions. Dendritic cell-derived ...

SAN DIEGO — Stimulating dendritic cells with interferon-gamma caused them to release exosomes that promoted neuronal myelination in vitro and in live rats, offering a potential therapy for advanced multiple sclerosis, a researcher said here. In the key experiment, intranasal ...

Prion diseases are incurable transmissible neurological disorders. In many natural and experimental prion diseases, infectious prions can be detected in the lymphoreticular system (LRS) long before they reach the brain where they cause a fatal rapidly progressive degeneration. Although major ...
