Scalable production of siRNA‐encapsulated extracellular vesicles for the inhibition of KRAS‐mutant cancer using acoustic shock waves

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a potential delivery vehicle for nucleic‐acid‐based therapeutics, but challenges related to their large‐scale production and cargo‐loading efficiency have limited their therapeutic potential. To address these issues, we developed a novel “shock wave extracellular vesicles engineering technology ...

Efficacy and safety of treating symptomatic, primary focal osteochondral lesions of the patella with a combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HAi) and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) or HAi alone: A retrospective two-cohort study [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract Background: This study tested the hypothesis that a combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid (HAi) and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) is more effective than HAi alone in the treatment of symptomatic, primary focal osteochondral lesions of the patella (sPFOLP).Methods: We performed a retrospective ...

Comparing the effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (rESWT) and three conventional treatment approaches for biceps brachii muscle in exercise-induced delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS): a protocol for a randomised clinical trial. [PDF]

BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med
Delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) is a typical physiological response to unaccustomed intense exercise, characterised by pain, stiffness and reduced muscle function. DOMS is often impacting an individual’s physical performance and overall well-being.
