Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) plays a critical role in immune regulation, particularly in monocyte differentiation and ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were once thought to be nothing more than cellular debris, but research has previously found that they play a role in mediating intercellular communication. Now, a team of ...

Extracellular vesicles may function in intercellular communication through the transfer of proteins and RNA, with a relevant effect on systemic processes such as immune function 5 and inflammation ...

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs), which can be defined as small particles released by cancer cells, play a significant role in intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment.

The funtional relevance and characteristics of extracellular RNAs are increasingly recognised, however, there remains a lack of universally accepted terminology for unequivocally identifying these ...

Using AI, Jahed, Rahmani and colleagues developed a method to correlate extracellular signals with specific intracellular signals. To develop the new method, the team first engineered an array of ...

Nakano and colleagues discovered that apoptotic cell-derived extracellular vesicles promote malignancy of glioblastoma via intercellular transfer of splicing factors. This knowledge, published in ...

Extracellular vesicles and exosomes range tremendously in size, from 30 nanometers—approximately the diameter of a small virus—to as large as one micron.
