Research shows that extracellular vesicles play an important part in the stimulation of T cells.

Liquid biopsies are becoming an increasingly important tool for the early detection, prognosis and monitoring of treatment outcomes in cancer, and hold the promise of transforming the management of other diseases in the future.

New research has found that a reduction in estrogen receptors in the heart results in obesity in female mice, but not male mice – findings that may provide important health insights for postmenopausal women.

In this article, we explore some of the advanced molecular techniques that are most used for detecting the main biomarkers involved in liquid biopsy.

In this article, we explore the basics behind liquid biopsy, a test that has revolutionized diagnostics for cancer and other conditions.

Researchers in Japan have developed a new device to identify proteins – which are diagnostic biomarkers of brain cancer – in urine. The study is published in ACS Nano.

A nanotechnology-based "liquid biopsy" has been shown to detect and profile prostate cancers, even when tiny amounts are present.

A novel method of delivering mRNA using extracellular vesicles has been developed that could overcome many of the hurdles faced by other promising mRNA therapies.

A new study aimed to create a targeted test for predicting placenta accreta spectrum during pregnancy, thus better preparing patients and practitioners for the delivery day.

Researchers have discovered an immune response inside the nose that fights off viruses responsible for upper respiratory infections, but which is inhibited in colder temperatures, making an infection more likely to occur.
