Lipoprotein Association Fluorometry (LAF) as a Semi‐Quantitative Characterization Tool to Assess Extracellular Vesicle‐Lipoprotein Binding

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are biological nanoparticles that play important roles in (patho)physiological processes and are promising new therapeutic and diagnostic tools. Recent evidence suggests that other circulating biological nanoparticles, primarily lipoproteins, bind to EVs, changing their biological identity.
