Acoustic Purification of Extracellular Microvesicles [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are an increasingly important source for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics. The small size of MVs and their presence in complex biological environment, however, pose technical challenges in sample preparation, particularly when sample volumes are small.

Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

Procoagulant microvesicles (MVs) are submicron membrane fragments released from activated cells and cells undergoing apoptosis. The procoagulant activity of MVs is enhanced in the presence of tissue factor (TF). MVs and TF are active mediators that induce pro-inflammatory response and prothrombotic tendency and have been linked to the severity of ...

Back Again to the Future: A New Era for Cerebroprotection
Cerebroprotection is a fresh framework for designing neurological therapy that targets glia and vascular cells, in addition to neurons. In the future, successful cerebroprotection will involve targeting all elements of the neurovascular unit. Preclinical trials must include functional outcomes, as well as lesion morphometry.

Platelet Microvesicles (Microparticles) in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
SIGNIFICANT POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING is a common risk of cardiac surgery, with approximately 3.5% of patients requiring surgical re-exploration.1 Re-exploration is associated with adverse outcomes, including infections, ischemia, and increased 30-day mortality.2 Similar adverse outcomes are related to erythrocyte transfusions associated with cardiac ...

Comprehending the Membrane Properties for Emulation in Organs‐on‐a‐Chip
The advent of organ‐on‐chip models allows closer emulation of in vivo conditions, leading to effective, less costly, and specific drugs. Although a number of membrane‐based on‐chip models exist, better emulating functional models need to be devised for organ simulations.

Microglial microvesicle secretion and intercellular signaling [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are released from almost all cell brain types into the microenvironment and are emerging as a novel way of cell-to-cell communication. This review focuses on MVs discharged by microglial cells, the brain resident myeloid cells, which comprise ∼10-12% of brain population.

Nanobiotechnology‐Based Approaches for Targeted Glioma Therapy
Nanoparticle systems cross the blood–brain barrier to deliver drugs precisely to glioma cells. Lipid, polymeric, and magnetic carriers enable controlled release, tumor targeting, and microenvironment modulation. These nanoplatforms enhance chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity ...
