Increasing attention has been given to secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the past decades, especially in the portrayal of their molecular cargo and role as messengers in both homeostasis and pathophysiological conditions. Researchers from the University of São Paulo present ...

Exosomes are intercellular messengers with a high potential for diagnostic and therapeutic utility. It is believed that exosomes present in body fluids are responsible for providing signals which inhibit immune cells, interfere with antitumor immunity, and thus influence the response ...

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 ...
Read More »Proteomic insights into extracellular vesicle biology – defining exosomes and shed microvesicles.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are critical mediators of intercellular communication, capable of regulating the transcriptional landscape of target cells through horizontal transmission of biological information, such as proteins, lipids, and RNA species. This capability highlights their potential as novel targets for ...

Exosomes are communication mediators participating in the intercellular exchange of proteins, metabolites and nucleic acids. Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes are characterized by a unique proteomic composition that is distinct from the cellular one. The mechanisms responsible for determining ...

Tumour cells of colorectal cancer (CRC) release exosomes into the circulation. These exosomes can mediate communication between cells and affect various tumour-related processes in their target cells. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences present a quantitative proteomics analysis ...

Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles participating in cell-to-cell communication both in health and disease. However, the knowledge about the functions and molecular composition of exosomes in the upper airways is limited. The aim of the current study was therefore to ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) act as key mediators of intercellular communication and are secreted and taken up by all cell types in the central nervous system (CNS). While detailed study of EV-based signaling is likely to significantly advance our understanding of ...
