Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles released by almost all body tissues, representing important mediators of cellular communication, and are thus promising candidate biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of the present study was to isolate total EVs from plasma and characterize their microRNA (miRNA) contents in AD patients. We isolated total EVs from the plasma of all recruited subjects using ExoQuickULTRA exosome precipitation solution (SBI). Subsequently, circulating total EVs were characterized using Nanosight nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Western blotting. A panel of 754 miRNAs was determined with RT-qPCR using TaqMan OpenArray technology in a QuantStudio 12K System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The results demonstrated that plasma EVs showed widespread deregulation of specific miRNAs (miR-106a-5p, miR-16-5p, miR-17-5p, miR-195-5p, miR-19b-3p, miR-20a-5p, miR-223-3p, miR-25-3p, miR-296-5p, miR-30b-5p, miR-532-3p, miR-92a-3p, and miR-451a), some of which were already known to be associated with neurological pathologies. A further validation analysis also confirmed a significant upregulation of miR-16-5p, miR-25-3p, miR-92a-3p, and miR-451a in prodromal AD patients, suggesting these dysregulated miRNAs are involved in the early progression of AD.

Background: Noninvasive biomarkers that capture the longitudinal multiregional tumour burden in patients with breast cancer may improve the assessment of residual nodal disease and guide axillary surgery. Additionally, a significant barrier to the clinical translation of the current data-driven deep learning model is the lack of interpretability. This study aims to develop and validate an information shared-private (iShape) model to predict axillary pathological complete response in patients with axillary lymph node (ALN)-positive breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) by learning common and specific image representations from longitudinal primary tumour and ALN ultrasound images.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by neurons (nEVs) provide an opportunity to measure biomarkers from the brain circulating in the periphery. No study yet has directly compared molecular cargo in brain tissue to nEVs found in circulation in humans. In 5 matched sets of brain tissue, serum, total EVs, and nEVs, obtained from the Bartoli Brain Tumor Laboratory at Columbia University, we compared the levels microRNAs and environmental chemicals because microRNAs are one of the most studied nEV cargoes and offer great potential as biomarkers and environmental chemical load in nEVs is understudied and could reveal chemical burden in the brain.

Single extracellular vesicle (EV) analysis holds great promise for non-invasive cancer diagnostics, offering insights into tumor-specific biomarkers and enabling personalized treatment strategies. However, a significant challenge in the path towards clinical applications is the low abundance of tumor-derived EVs (s) in biofluids, which reduces the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of detection. This review emphasizes the importance of analyzing a large number of single EVs to overcome this limitation.

Unlabelled: Maternal physiological hypercholesterolemia (MPH; total cholesterol (TC)≤280 mg/dL) occurs during pregnancy to support fetal growth. When TC exceeds this threshold, this condition is recognized as maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia (MSPH), which is associated with endothelial dysfunction in the maternal and fetoplacental vasculature. Placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), which mediate intercellular communication during pregnancy, may contribute to MSPH by affecting endothelial cells.
