Osteoarthritis affects about eight million people in the UK, and rheumatoid arthritis a further half a million. Unfortunately, there is no cure. The most advanced treatments available today offer only ...

To arrive at the particle size distribution of samples in a liquid suspension, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) uses the characteristics of both Brownian motion and light scattering. A laser beam ...

To determine the particle size distribution of samples in liquid suspension, NTA makes use of the properties of Brownian motion and light scattering. A laser is sent through the sample chamber and the ...

The same research team that first discovered tumor-associated RNA in tiny membrane-enclosed sacs released into the bloodstream by cancer cells has now found that these microvesicles also contain ...

Identifying reliable biomarkers that can report disease presence, severity or progression is a major challenge for many tumour types. A new study describes a sensitive technique to detect and ...

Over the past few years, extracellular vesicles, or membrane sacs secreted from cells, have emerged as important mediators by which cells communicate with their surroundings to regulate a diverse ...

Researchers have demonstrated how microvesicles could provide a safer and more effective form of cancer therapy than chemotherapy. A team of researchers from Michigan State University (USA) has been ...

Exosomes and microvesicles (MVs) are extracellular vesicular bodies that are found in a wide range of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms and play a major role in many pathological and physiological ...

Circulating microvesicles (MVs), a subset of extracellular vesicles, play vital roles in intercellular communication and hold great promise as biomarkers for metabolic, cardiovascular, and malignant ...

The study of exosomes and other cell-derived microvesicles is an area of rapidly growing importance and the subject of intense interest and research. The previous lack of suitable methods for their ...
