Article Collection: Exosome Production, Isolation and Applications: From Cancer Research to Therapeutic Targets
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes , are small, membrane-bound particles that play a critical role in intercellular communication, including in cancer. Here we explore their potential in novel small EV production modulators, EV isolation from plants and purification, engineered exosomes in tumor immunology, and EV bioprocessing. With the crucial role of exosomes in cancer diagnosis and treatment, their isolation remains a crucial area of research for developing diagnostic tools and therapies.
This article collection provides a thorough overview of innovative methods for isolating, identifying, and purifying exosomes. The collection emphasizes the critical role of production and isolation techniques in developing new diagnostic tools and therapies for diverse diseases. Our goal is to showcase these benefits to enable researchers to fully explore their potential.
What you will learn:
- Exosome isolation techniques
