Exosomes – Multimedia

What are exosomes? Find out about these tiny-but-potent circulating microvesicles that participate in cellular communication.

There's more to exosomes than first thought. This infographic provides a snapshot of the tiny cell-derived vesicles which have captured the attention of cell biologists and the medical world.

The Malvern NanoSight range of instruments utilizes Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) to characterize nanoparticles including exosomes, from 10nm -2000nm* in solution.

Stefano Pluchino, Principal Investigator, University of Cambridge talks about intercellular communication in the CNS.

We spoke to Alexander Kapustin, Research Associate, King's College London, at Extracellular Vesicles 2016.

We spoke to Janusz Rak, Professor, McGill University, at Extracellular Vesicles 2016.

We spoke to Stefan Momma, Group Leader, University Hospital Frankfurt, at Extracellular Vesicles 2016.

Exosomes are important intercellular communicators in the acute radiation stress-response. These nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles confer protective signals to neighboring cells and therefore promote the tumorigenic and radioresistant phenotype of head and neck cancer cells.

Paramagnetic Dynabeads® magnetic beads provide a versatile, automation friendly tool for fast sensitive and high throughput isolation that can be tailored to isolate specific circulating biomarkers such as cells, exosomes and nucleic acids.

Here, an LM10 is used to measure the size and concentration of exosomes after storage at two different temperatures, 4°C and room temperature.
