Flow Cytometry Role in Unlocking New Frontiers for Nanomedicine Applications of Plant‐Derived Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound vesicles released by any cell type under both physiological and pathological conditions. They carry a wide array of bioactive molecules, including microRNAs (miRNAs), lipids, proteins and other small biomolecules, and therefore play a key role in intercellular communication by ...

Exocarpium Citri Grandis‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle‐Like Particles for Accelerating Wound Healing via Regulating the Protein Expression on the VEGF/AKT Signaling Pathway

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our findings indicate that ECG‐EVLP can effectively promote wound healing and the activation of the VEGF/AKT signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo, coupled with the inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in cells following ECG‐EVLP stimulation might be its underlying mechanism.
