Extracellular vesicles (EV) are increasingly being recognized as important vehicles of intercellular communication and promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in cancer. Despite this enormous...
Read More »Rapid and efficient isolation of exosomes by clustering and scattering
Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have become important biomarkers of liquid biopsies for precision medicine. However, the clinical application of EVs has been limited due to the lack of EV isolation practical technology applicable to clinical environments. Researchers at the Korea ...
Read More »Isolation and analysis of plasma-derived exosomes in patients with glioma
Gliomas including glioblastoma (GBM) are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Glioma extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes have biological effects (e.g., immunosuppression) and contain tumor-specific cargo that could facilitate liquid biopsies. Mayo Clinic researchers aimed to develop a simple, ...
Read More »New insight into isolation, identification techniques and medical applications of exosomes
Exosomes, which are nano-vesicles produced by most cell types, play an irreplaceable role in cell-cell communication. They are extracellular small...

Current approaches for collection of extracellular vesicles (EV) are based on classical cell culture media production. This involves collection from...
Read More »Isolation and characterization of urinary extracellular vesicles
Urine is a valuable diagnostic medium and, with the discovery of urinary extracellular vesicles, is viewed as a dynamic bioactive fluid. Extracellular vesicles are lipid-enclosed structures that can be classified into three categories: exosomes, microvesicles (or ectosomes) and apoptotic bodies. ...
