Exosomes – News and Features

A research team has discovered that exosomes derived from γδ-T cells not only have direct anti-tumour effects but also, when developed into a tumour vaccine, can effectively induce a tumour-specific immune response.

Bacteria can be tricked into sending death signals to stop the growth of their slimy, protective homes that lead to deadly infections, a new study demonstrates.

While traditional methods of cell sorting come with several challenges, microbubbles are simple to use and can separate cells without causing harm. Technology Networks spoke to Dr. Brandon McNaughton, CEO and co-founder of Akadeum to find out more about this technology, its applications and how it could improve cancer treatment.

In this interview, John Finn tells us more about PGI, how it compares to other genome editing approaches and the benefits it could bring to genomic medicine discovery.

Columbia Biomedical Engineer Ke Cheng has developed a technique that uses inhalation of exosomes, or nanobubbles, to directly deliver IL-12 mRNA to the lungs of mice.

We typically think of a cancerous tumor as a bunch of abnormal cells gone rogue, but the situation is more complicated. This article will explore cell-to-cell communication’s role in cancer development, its influence on metastasis and how research is expanding our knowledge of the disease.

Activating a critical communication pathway that links the brain and fat tissue may slow the effects of advancing age.

UC Riverside scientists have discovered a stealth molecular weapon that plants use to attack the cells of invading gray mold.

A newly developed blood test could identify the pathology that triggers Parkinson's disease before symptoms occur, allowing clinicians to screen those at high risk of the disease.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by synapse dysfunction and the aggregation of proteins in the brain, which ultimately lead to neuronal loss. This article will review the studies and methods powering our growing understanding of the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative disease.
