Extracellular Vesicles in Multiple Sclerosis: What are They Telling Us?
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound particles secreted by almost all cell types. They are classified depending on their biogenesis and size into exosomes and microvesicles or according to their cell origin. EVs play a role in cell-to-cell communication, including contact-free cell synapsis, carrying active membrane proteins, lipids, and genetic material both inside the particle and ...
متن کاملPsoriasis and vitiligo are close relatives
BACKGROUND Both vitiligo and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases with genetic elements. OBJECTIVE To estimate the frequencies of psoriasis in vitiligo patients and vice versa and to compare them with healthy controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 1000 subjects were included, 250 of them had vitiligo, 250 had psoriasis, and 500 were healthy controls. Measurement of the ...
متن کاملEXTRACELLULAR VESICLES AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS: A REVIEW
Background & Aims: Extracellular vesicles are double phospholipid layer vesicles releasing from several cells. These particles contain bio-molecules including mRNA, miRNA, DNA, proteins, and lipids which play a pivotal role in the cell to cell communication. Once delivered, they participate to change target cell function, fate, morphology, differentiation, and growth. The present study is a re...
متن کاملLife and Its Close Relatives
When driven by an external thermodynamic gradient, nonbiological physical systems can exhibit a wide range of behaviours usually associated with living systems. Consequently, Artificial Life researchers should be open to the possibility that there is no hard-and-fast distinction between the biological and the physical. This suggests a novel field of research: the application of biologists’ meth...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii extracellular vesicles
Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain active biological compounds which play important roles in biological processes. The secretion of EVs is a common phenomenon which occurs in archaea, bacteria and mammalian cells. The secretion of bacterial EVs has been discovered in various species of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is one of the comm...
