Giardia intestinalis is a flagellated unicellular protozoan that colonizes the small intestine, causing the diarrheal disease called giardiasis. The production of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by G. intestinalis and the role of these EVs in the parasite’s

Bacterial subversion of NLR-mediated immune responses
Members of the mammalian Nod-like receptor (NLR) protein family are important intracellular sensors for bacteria. Bacteria have evolved under the pressure of detection by host immune sensing systems, leading to adaptive subversion strategies to dampen ...

Extracellular Vesicles in neural cell interaction and CNS homeostasis
Central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis critically depends on the interaction between neurons and glia cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) recently emerged as versatile messengers in CNS cell communication.

Coarse-Grained Molecular Simulation of Extracellular Vesicles Squeezing for Drug Loading [PDF]
In recent years, extracellular vesicles such have become promising carriers as the next-generation drug delivery platforms. Effective loading of exogenous cargos without compromising the extracellular vesicle membrane is a major challenge. Rapid squeezing through nanofluidic channels is a widely used approach to load exogenous cargoes into the EV ...

The relationship between chronic immune response and neurodegenerative damage in long COVID-19
In the past two years, the world has faced the pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which by August of 2022 has infected around 619 million people and caused the death of 6.55 million individuals globally ...
