The twenty-first century has witnessed major developments in the field of extracellular
vesicle (EV) research, including significant steps towards defining standard criteria for the …

Urine is a valuable diagnostic medium and, with the discovery of urinary extracellular
vesicles, is viewed as a dynamic bioactive fluid. Extracellular vesicles are lipid-enclosed …

In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of
intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity …

Trafficking of biological material across membranes is an evolutionary conserved
mechanism and is part of any normal cell homeostasis. Such transport is composed of …

The discovery that submicron-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) are generated by both
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells might have a profound effect on experimental and clinical …

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by
intravascular hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney failure. HUS is usually …

Microvesicles represent a newly identified mechanism of intercellular communication. Two
different types of microvesicles have been identified: membrane-derived vesicles (EVs) and …

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are lipid-bilayer enclosed vesicles in submicron size that are
released from cells. A variety of molecules, including proteins, DNA fragments, RNAs, lipids …

Almost all bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic cells shed extracellular vesicles either
constitutively or in a regulated manner. These nanosized membrane vesicles are spherical …

Microvesicles are generated by the outward budding and fission of membrane vesicles from
the cell surface. Recent studies suggest that microvesicle shedding is a highly regulated …
