Early cancer detection gives patients the best odds of successful treatment.  Typically, cancers diagnosed at an early stage ...

Brain disorders like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's Disease start to develop in patients much earlier than when their first clinical symptoms appear. Treating patients at these early stages could slow or ...

There are billions of tiny packets of cellular material called extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced by cells and ...

Extracellular vesicles are little sacs that can work as a kind of messenger that delivers signals from one cell to another. | ...

Kenan Jr. Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UR, and a member of the Wilmot Cancer Institute scientific team, led a collaboration to develop a tool that collects cellular material (genes and ...

A particularly promising target in body fluids are "extracellular vesicles" (EVs), tiny membrane-bound sacs released by brain ...

The team’s overall goal was to be able to compare the amounts of α-synuclein protein contained in extracellular vesicles (right side) relative to α-synuclein contained in total plasma (left side). To ...

Monitoring the levels of EVs in the blood could provide direct insight into the level of tissue damage and lead to better cancer detection.

A recent review article highlights how extracellular vesicles (EVs) act as key players in the development of cancer drug resistance. The study explains how EVs, secreted by both cancerous and ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shuttle important biologically active molecules out of cells. Characterizing their size, density, biochemical composition, and cell of origin provide researchers with ...

Researchers have found a potential new diagnostic marker that could be used to better detect the level of tissue damage in our bodies.
