Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by all domains of life. In fungal pathogens, they participate in virulence mechanisms and/or induce protective immunity, depending on the pathogenic species. EVs produced by pathogenic members of the Cryptococcus genus mediate virulence, antifungal resistance, as well as humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The isolation of cryptococcal EVs has been laborious and time-consuming for years. In this chapter, we detail a fast protocol for the isolation and analysis of EVs produced by members of the Cryptococcus genus.

KIF13B controls ciliary protein content by promoting endocytic retrieval and suppressing release of large extracellular vesicles from cilia.
Curr Biol

Dynamic control of ciliary membrane protein content is crucial for the organelle's homeostasis and signaling function and involves removal of ciliary components by intraflagellar transport (IFT) and BBSome-mediated export, endocytic retrieval, and/or extracellular vesicle (EV) shedding. We report that the kinesin-3 motor KIF13B regulates ciliary protein composition and EV shedding in cultured kidney epithelial cells, with effects that vary over time. In early stages of ciliation, Kif13b cells aberrantly accumulate polycystin-2 (PC2) within cilia and release large EVs enriched with CCDC198 and the centriole distal appendage protein CCDC92, which also localizes to the ciliary tip.

Translational Cardiology Group, Health Research Institute, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; CIBERCV, Madrid, España. Electronic address:
Background: High % of low-voltage area (LVA), a surrogate of scar, is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninvasive biomarkers of LVA are a medical need for PVI decision.
Objective: We aimed to identify the proteome profile of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated with high % LVA, their cellular origin, and their regulation by hyperglycemia.
High-Yield Isolation of Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Using a Gold Nanoparticle-Enhanced SiO₂ Immunoaffinity Platform.
IEEE Trans Nanobioscience
September 2025
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by stem cells are nanoscale carriers of bioactive compounds with regenerative and immunomodulatory capabilities similar to those of their parent cells. Their therapeutic potential outperforms traditional stem cell therapies by lowering hazards such tumorigenicity and allowing for precise delivery. To provide a high-efficiency platform for selectively isolating stem cell EVs from minimal serum quantities while overcoming the constraints of traditional approaches such as ultracentrifugation, we developed an immunoaffinity-based capture system utilizing SiO₂ wafers functionalized with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), polyethylene glycol (HS-PEG-COOH), and stem cell-specific antibodies.

Aims: This study aimed to enhance the osteoinductive potential of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) by integrating them into a nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp)-enriched hydrogel scaffold for bone regeneration applications.
Materials & Methods: EVs were isolated from naïve and osteogenically primed MSCs and characterized for morphology, cargo content, and cytocompatibility. Their uptake and osteoinductive activity were assessed using MC3T3 cells within a 3D interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel.

Purpose: Natural killer (NK) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NK-EVs) have garnered significant research interest in the field of tumor immunotherapy. However, the large-scale production of NK-EVs remains a major challenge, limiting their clinical application. This study aims to develop a simple and efficient method for the preparation of NK cell-derived nanovesicles (NK-NVs) and to evaluate their cytotoxicity and drug delivery potential.
