Asthma is a complex, multifactorial inflammatory disorder of the airways, characterized by recurrent symptoms and variable airflow obstruction. So far, two main asthma endotypes have been identified, type 2 (T2)-high or T2-low, based on the underlying immunological mechanisms. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly exosomes, have gained increasing attention due to their pivotal role in intercellular communication and distal signaling modulation. In the context of asthma pathobiology, an increasing amount of experimental evidence suggests that EVs secreted by eosinophils, mast cells, dendritic cells, T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and epithelial cells contribute to disease modulation. This review explores the role of EVs in profiling the molecular signatures of T2-high and T2-low asthma, offering novel perspectives on disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

Violacein exhibits antitumor activity, indicating potential for future clinical application. However, an efficient delivery system is required for the clinical use of this hydrophobic compound. Effective delivery systems can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic compounds like violacein, facilitating its clinical application for antitumor therapy.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as valuable sources for liquid biopsy in disease diagnostics, given their protein and nucleic acid cargoes (, miRNA, mRNA, glycoRNA) can serve as critical biomarkers. DNA nanotechnology, leveraging its inherent programmability, high specificity, and powerful signal amplification capability, offers a transformative approach for the bioanalysis of EVs. This review summarizes recent advances in DNA nanotechnology-based analytical methodologies for detecting EV-associated proteins and nucleic acids.

Objective: Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) promotes significant metabolic improvements, though the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Emerging evidence suggests that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contribute to metabolic improvements post VSG, such as improved fatty liver disease or adipose tissue function; however, it is unclear how different organ-specific sEVs interact with various metabolic parameters. The objective of this study is to establish the role of organ-specific sEVs in the metabolic improvements post VSG.

Communication between group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and other immune cells, as well as intestinal epithelial cells, is pivotal in regulating intestinal inflammation. This study, for the first time, underscores the importance of crosstalk between intestinal endothelial cells (ECs) and ILC3. Our single-cell transcriptome analysis combined with protein expression detection revealed that ECs significantly increased the population of interleukin (IL)-22 ILC3 through interactions mediated by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and its receptor endothelin A receptor (EDNRA).

Aims: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant limitation of coronary stent implantation, but the exact mechanism of ISR remains unclear. Patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are in a hypercoagulable state; however, there is less information on its association with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ISR after PCI. We aimed to clarify whether or not CAD patients with ISR after PCI are in a hypercoagulable state and whether or not PS exposure on extracellular vesicles (EVs), blood cells (BCs), and endothelial cells (ECs) is involved in the hypercoagulable state.
