Article Abstract

Three main areas of research revolve around extracellular vesicles (EVs): their use as early detection diagnostics for cancer prevention, engineering of EVs or other enveloped viral-like particles for therapeutic purposes and to understand how EVs impact biological processes. When investigating the biology of EVs, it is important to consider strategies able to track and alter EVs directly , as they are released by donor cells. This can be achieved by suitable engineering of EV donor cells, either before implantation or directly Here, we make a case for the study of native EVs, that is, EVs released by cells living within a tissue. Novel genetic approaches to detect intercellular communications mediated by native EVs and profile recipient cells are discussed. The use of Rab35 dominant negative mutant is proposed for functional studies on the roles of native EVs. Ultimately, investigations on native EVs will tremendously advance our understanding of EV biology and open novel opportunities for therapy and prevention.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common and debilitating injury, causing long-lasting neurological deficits. Current therapeies for recovery remain inadequate, undersing the urgent need for innovative interventions. In this study, a novel therapeutic approach is introduced that delivers extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (hiPSC-NPCs) with a gelatin-based injectable bioorthogonal hydrogel (BIOGEL).

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in intercellular communication and hold great promise as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents. Due to the limited availability of patient samples, in vitro cell culture models have become indispensable tools for generating EVs under controlled conditions and investigating their biological roles. While conventional 2D cultures are widely used, they lack the complexity of native tissues.

Label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has great potential in cancer diagnosis. However, the repeatability and stability of the SERS signals and the accurate early prediction of multiple cell types based on a small number of samples still require further research. We developed a highly accurate classification approach to distinguish EVs derived from lung cancer and normal cells.

Background: Regenerative therapy using extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a promising approach for the supportive treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia. Herein, we examined the angiogenic potential of EVs derived from genetically modified mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), focusing on the angio-micro RNAs (miRNAs) in EVs.

Methods: Bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) were transfected with lentiviral vectors containing specific angio-miRNAs (miRNA-126, -135b, or -210), and miRNA overexpression was confirmed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
