The inherent plasticity and resiliency of fibroblasts make this cell type a conventional tool for
basic research. But where do they come from, are all fibroblasts the same, and how do they …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), a cluster of cell-secreted lipid bilayer nanoscale particles,
universally exist in body fluids, as well as cell and tissue culture supernatants. Over the past …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is featured with inflammation and extensive lung
remodeling caused by overloaded deposition of extracellular matrix. Scutellarin is the major …

Tubular injury and peripheral fibroblast activation are the hallmarks of chronic kidney
disease (CKD), suggesting intimate communication between the two types of cells …

Unilateral ischemia reperfusion injury (UIRI) with longer ischemia time is associated with an
increased risk of acute renal injury and chronic kidney disease. Exosomes can transport …

Simple Summary Gastric cancer shows an improved prognosis when diagnosed in its early
stage. However, non-invasive diagnostic markers for gastric cancer known to date have poor …

Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEV) are a largely unexplored source of kidney-derived
mRNAs with potential to serve as a liquid kidney biopsy. We assessed∼ 200 uEV mRNA …

Staphylococcal aureus (S. aureus), a Gram-positive bacteria, is known to cause various
infections. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous array of membranous structures …

Kidney disease is a global health and healthcare burden. Glomerulonephritis (Gn), both
primary and secondary, is generally characterized by an inflammatory glomerular injury and …

The biological process of renal aging is characterized by progressive structural and
functional deterioration of the kidney leading to end-stage renal disease, requiring renal …
