Extracellular vesicles as novel therapeutic targets and diagnosis markers
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles secreted from cells to the outside and are widely present in body fluids. The most commonly used method to isolate EVs is ultracentrifugation.

Migration of germline progenitor cells is directed by sphingosine-1-phosphate signalling in a basal chordate. [PDF]
The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri continuously regenerates entire bodies in an asexual budding process. The germ line of the newly developing bodies is derived from migrating germ cell precursors, but the signals governing this homing process ...

The riddle of the plant vacuolar sorting receptors [PDF]
Proteins synthesized on membrane-bound ribosomes are sorted at the Golgi apparatus level for delivery to various cellular destinations: the plasma membrane or the extracellular space, and the lytic vacuole or lysosome. Sorting involves the assembly of vesicles, which preferentially package soluble proteins with a common destination.

Nanoparticle Orientation to Control RNA Loading and Ligand Display on Extracellular Vesicles for Cancer Regression [PDF]
Nanotechnology offers many benefits, and here we report an advantage of applying RNA nanotechnology for directional control. The orientation of arrow-shaped RNA was altered to control ligand display on extracellular vesicle membranes for specific cell ...

5‐Fluorouracil treatment represses pseudouridine‐containing miRNA export into extracellular vesicles
5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) has been used for chemotherapy for colorectal and other cancers for over 50 years. The prevailing view of its mechanism of action is inhibition of thymidine synthase leading to defects in DNA replication and repair. However, 5‐FU is

Therapeutic and diagnostic potential of extracellular vesicles in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
As a late-onset and fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects upper and lower motor neurons, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a difficult disease to diagnose and treat, needing further research on mechanisms of pathogenesis.

Multifunctional exosome-driven pancreatic cancer diagnostics and therapeutics
Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most common causes of cancer death. The overall survival rate of PC is relatively low. PC frequently presents in patients with nonspecific symptoms at the localized stage and PC patients are mostly diagnosed at ...
