Guidelines for the purification and characterization of extracellular vesicles of parasites

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible for several millions of deaths. Research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased in recent years and demonstrated that EVs shed by pathogenic parasites ...
