intercellular communication

Scientists choose ultracentrifugation techniques for simplicity and proven efficacy in exosome purification.

Nonliving cells developed in the lab can communicate chemically with living bacteria, according to a study.

From DNA damage to cellular miscommunication, aging is a mysterious and multifarious process.

Unlike the usual smooth, spherical shape of exosomes, glioblastoma-derived exosomes appear to have long nanofilaments protruding from their surfaces.

These small membrane vesicles do much more than clean up a cell’s trash—they also carry signals to distant parts of the body, where they can impact multiple dimensions of cellular life.

Exosomes are small membrane vesicles secreted by most cell types. Internal vesicles form by the inward budding of cellular compartments known as multivesicular endosomes (MVE).
