▌What are exosomes?
All cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs) as part of their normal physiology. We could divide the types of EVs into two wide groups: ectosomes and exosomes.
► On one hand, ectosomes...
Research on exosomes have arisen great interest in the last decades, there are multiple areas where exosomes are contributing such as nanomedicine, cancer research and diagnosis, drug delivery systems,...
The isolation and characterization of exosomes from biological fluids can provide valuable information for early detection, disease monitoring and treatment development. As we have addressed in previous...
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the approximate size range of 40 to 150nm in diameter and they are present in almost all body fluids. They contain some very common markers sus as CD9, CD63,...
Basophils were found in human peripheral blood by Paul Ehrlich 140 years ago. These kinds of cells represent <1% of the peripheral blood leukocytes and they have also been identified in other species,...
Since exosomes are circulating in body fluids, they can not only transfer information to local cells but also to remote cells. For this reason, exosomes are considered potential active principle for...
There are two main mechanisms of immunity within the adaptive immune system – humoral b lymphocytes cell mediated immunity and cellular (t lymphocytes cell mediated immunity).
Humoral immunity and cell-mediated...
Apoptosis is a regulated process of cell death that occurs during embryonic development as well as maintenance of tissue homeostasis. The appearance of non-regulated apoptosis involves the possibility...
Flow cytometry (FMC) is a multi-parametric cellular analysis technique that, using fluorochrome- labelled antibodies, allows the simultaneous measurement of multiple physical characteristics of a cell.
Flow...
The discovery and research on exosomes has raised hopes for treating different pathologies in regenerative medicine. It has been demonstrated in new studies that exosomes show a great opportunity on...
