Exosomes – News and Features

Researchers have loaded extracellular vesicles with therapeutic mRNA, and shown how they can be used to enhance immunotherapy responses in glioblastoma.

Researchers found exposing cells to a small molecule drug improved their fitness during hematopoietic stem cell transplants, which could broaden access and improve outcomes for ex vivo gene therapy.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women and is notoriously difficult to treat. A new treatment has been unveiled that may improve multiple PCOS symptoms.

Defective exosomes, which shuttle signals between cells, can drive inflammation and impair wound healing in diabetic patients, according to a new study.

Researchers wanted to understand how cells react to these extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by different cell types and at varying concentrations.

It has been suspected for some time that viral infections contribute to the genesis and development of neurodegenerative diseases. Laboratory studies now suggest a mechanism that does not require infection by external pathogens.

Hans van der Voorn tells us about some of the recent progress in the extracellular vesicle-based diagnostics and therapeutics landscape, particularly the need for industrial-scale EV isolation workflows.

Researchers have found a way to defeat mold without showering toxic chemicals on the crops.

This article explores how targeting the language of cancer cell communication could provide new ways to stop tumor growth and prevent drug resistance.

In Science Advances, Nagoya University scientists publish their work discovering three membrane proteins associated with ovarian cancer. The research team are hopeful that their discovery could improve approaches for detecting and diagnosing the disease.
