Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and Their Applications

EVs are vesicles released from cells that play a role in cell-to-cell communication and have various therapeutic applications.
EVs activate the immune system and can prevent inflammation as well as act as immunosuppressants.
EVs also contribute to skin and hair growth and collagen production.
EVs can be produced by CAR T cells engineered in the lab.
EVs have the potential to be used as therapeutic tools in a variety of diseases, including cancer.
EVs can be used for diagnosis by analyzing their biomarkers in blood, urine, or other biofluids.
EV isolation and characterization are essential for their use as biomarkers and therapeutic tools.
Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a technique used to measure and analyze the size and concentration of single particles, including EVs.
EVs can be labeled with fluorescent dyes to allow for their visualization and analysis.
EVs play a key role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and senescence.
EVs can carry various molecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which can affect the recipient cell.
EVs can be engineered to deliver drugs or other therapeutic agents to specific cells or tissues.
EVs can spread diseases, including aging and senescence.
Blood transfusions can introduce EVs from older donors into younger recipients, potentially leading to premature aging.
