Exosomes are a new horizon in modern therapy, presenting exciting new opportunities for advanced drug delivery and targeted release. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles with a size range of 30-100 nm, secreted by all cell types in the human body and carrying a unique collection of DNA fragments, RNA species, lipids, protein biomarkers ...

Quantification of Exosomes [PDF]
Exosomes are released by cells as self‐contained vesicles with an intact lipid bilayer that encapsulates a small portion of the parent cell. Exosomes have been studied widely as information‐rich sources of potential biomarkers that can reveal cellular physiology.

The correct processing, quality control and turnover of cellular RNA molecules is crucial to many aspects of cell physiology. The exosome—a large molecular assembly with exoribonuclease activity—has emerged as a crucial component in many, if not most, stages of RNA metabolism, including degradation and maturation of ribosomal RNA, RNA quality control ...

Emerging Exosomes and Exosomal MiRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious traumatic event to the spinal cord with considerable morbidity and mortality. This injury leads to short- and long-term variations in the spinal cord, and can have a serious effect on the patient’s sensory, motor, or autonomic functions.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles released by cells under physiological and pathological conditions. There is emerging evidence associating exosomes with tumorigenesis. They carry cargo (DNA, RNA, miRNA and protein) pertaining to the cell of origin and play a key role in intercellular communication, influencing several cellular processes ...

The RNA exosome and RNA exosome-linked disease [PDF]
The RNA exosome is an evolutionarily conserved, ribonuclease complex that is critical for both processing and degradation of a variety of RNAs. Cofactors that associate with the RNA exosome likely dictate substrate specificity for this complex. Recently, mutations in genes encoding both structural subunits of the RNA exosome and its cofactors have been

Exosomes and exosomal miRNAs in cardiovascular protection and repair [PDF]
Cell-cell communication between cardiac and vascular cells and from stem and progenitor cells to differentiated cardiovascular cells is both an important and complex process, achieved through a diversity of mechanisms that have an impact on cardiovascular biology, disease and therapeutics.

Role of Exosomes and Exosomal microRNAs in Cancer
A growing body of evidence indicates that exosomes play a critical role in the cell-cell communication process. Exosomes are biological nanoparticles with an average diameter of 30-100 nm in size and are produced by almost all cell types in the human body; however, cancer cells contain higher concentrations of exosomes than healthy cells.

Exosome and Exosomal MicroRNA: Trafficking, Sorting, and Function
Abstract Exosomes are 40–100 nm nano-sized vesicles that are released from many cell types into the extracellular space. Such vesicles are widely distributed in various body fluids. Recently, mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in exosomes, which can be taken up by neighboring or distant cells and subsequently modulate ...
