Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes and microvesicles, are small, nano-to-micrometer vesicles that are released from cells. While initially observed in immune cells and reticulocytes as vesicles meant to remove archaic proteins, now they have been observed in almost all cell types ...

Neuroinflammation is implicated in the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases. Conditions that lead to a peripheral immune response are often associated with inflammation in the central nervous system, suggesting a...

We are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral research fellows with a PhD in molecular biology and neuroscience field awarded within the past three years. These positions will be involved in functional characterization of extracellular vesicles (such as exosomes) in Alzheimer’s ...

Exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicle, have been shown to be involved in many disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Exosomes may contribute to the spread of misfolded proteins such as amyloid-β (Aβ) and α-synuclein. However, the specific diffusion process of ...

from Alzforum – Researchers have known for some time that the tau protein wears walking shoes; it can pass between neurons and march across interconnected regions of the brain. Microglial journeymen may facilitate these interneuronal excursions, according to a study ...
