When Ph.D. student Kshitiz Parihar began combing through dozens of research papers on two seemingly different topics—tumor mechanics and extracellular vesicles, tiny packages of proteins and genetic ...

Inside cells there are tiny particles, known as extracellular vesicles, that store and move molecules. Our cells naturally ...

Researchers have created the simplest artificial cell ever—just a membrane, an enzyme, and a mission. In a breakthrough that strips life down to its most basic rules, scientists at the Institute for ...

A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have found a previously unknown structure in mammalian cells, something they ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

A new study suggests inhibiting ActivinA might improve the efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). ActivinA appears to support the survival of leukemia ...

New research from scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and their collaborators elsewhere describes a way of improving extracellular vesicles’ ability to transport things like therapeutic ...

Scientists reveal how toxic protein pores in brain cells may explain Parkinson’s progression at molecular level.

Lead researcher Ashok Shetty has filed a patent on the intranasal application of neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles for treating Alzheimer’s and other neurological and neurodegenerative ...
