Article Abstract
In the era of precision medicine, liquid biopsy is becoming increasingly important in oncology. It consists in the isolation and analysis of tumor-derived biomarkers, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), in body fluids. EVs are lipid bilayer-enclosed particles, heterogeneous in size and molecular composition, released from both normal and neoplastic cells. In tumor context, EVs are valuable carriers of cancer information; in fact, their amount, phenotype and molecular cargo, including proteins, lipids, metabolites and nucleic acids, mirror nature and origin of parental cells rendering EVs appealing candidates as novel biomarkers. Translation of these new potential diagnostic tools into clinical practice could deeply revolutionize the cancer field mainly for solid tumors but for hematological neoplasms, too.

Migrasomes are newly discovered, migration-dependent organelles that mediate the release of cellular contents into the extracellular environment through a process known as migracytosis. Since their identification in 2014, growing evidence has highlighted their critical roles in intercellular communication, organ development, mitochondrial quality control, and disease pathogenesis. Migrasome biogenesis is a complex, multi-step process tightly regulated by lipid composition, tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, and molecular pathways involving sphingomyelin synthase 2, Rab35, and integrins.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures consisting of lipid bilayers that are released by most cell types and serve as important mediators of intercellular communication. The HEK293T cell line model has gained considerable attention from the scientific community, particularly in the fields of engineering and drug delivery. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of systematic comparisons of the most prevalent EV isolation methodologies for HEK293T in terms of recovery and specificity.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of cardiomyocytes-derived exosomes on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocyte injury and its mechanism.
Methods: Exosomes isolated from rat cardiomyocytes with or without LPS treatment were co-cultured with rat lymphocytes. The lymphocytes with or without exosome treatment were co-cultured with LPS-induced rat cardiomyocytes for 48 h.

Schistosome parasites are known to modulate host immune responses, which is achieved in part through the release of excretory/secretory (ES) products, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). During chronic schistosomiasis, increased regulatory responses are found, which include enhanced IL-10 production by B (Breg) cells. ES products from schistosome eggs are able to induce IL-10 production by B cells.

Abnormal accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting TDP-43 offer potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases. However, efficient and safe delivery of siRNAs to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a critical challenge.
