Exosomes – News and Features

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.

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.
