Exosomes – News and Features

Most diabetic wound care products are passive dressings, only providing a protective barrier against the external environment. This article explores how hydrogel technologies can promote diabetic wound healing.

This article examines some of the latest advances in biomarker discovery in the fields of cancer and neurodegenerative and infectious diseases and the technologies that are driving these discoveries.

In a new study, scientists combined strategies to deliver energy-disrupting gene therapy using nanoparticles manufactured to zero in only on cancer cells, with experiments showing the targeted therapy effective in mice.

Researchers have discovered an 18-digit code that allows proteins to attach themselves to exosomes, tiny pinched-off pieces of cells that travel around the body and deliver biochemical signals.

Researchers have used microcellular "drones" to deliver antisense oligonucleotide therapeutics to lung cancer cells.

Precision diagnostics for diseases that affect the brain and other organs brought closer by new ability to exclusively access contents of organ-derived extracellular vesicles in blood.

Researchers from WEHI and La Trobe University found that elevated levels of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the blood correlate with tissue damage in diseases like leukemia. This discovery could lead to a blood test for monitoring cancer patients.

A study reveals that sperm motility improves after stress rather than during it. By examining extracellular vesicles, researchers found enhanced sperm performance post-stress, suggesting an evolutionary advantage.

Researchers at Notre Dame developed an automated biochip that can diagnose glioblastoma in under an hour by detecting active EGFRs on extracellular vesicles from blood samples.

Researchers found a new class of RNA in blood nanoparticles, potentially paving the way for less invasive cancer diagnosis. They used next-generation RNA sequencing and other innovative tools to develop a cost-effective liquid biopsy test.
