Extracellular vesicles in parasitic diseases
Parasitic diseases affect billions of people and are considered a major public health issue. Close to 400 species are estimated to parasitize humans, of which around 90 are responsible for great clinical burden and mortality rates. Unfortunately, they are largely neglected as they are mainly endemic to poor regions. Of relevance to this review, there is accumulating evidence of the release of e...
متن کاملExtracellular vesicles in smoking-related lung diseases.
Cigarette smoking continues to be a major health hazard, and is involved in the mechanisms of developing various types of smoking-related diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a representative disease mainly caused by cigarette smoke inhalation and is pathologically characterized by emphysema and fibrotic airway remodeling. In addition, the presence of COPD is associated wit...
متن کاملExtracellular Vesicles in Regenerative Medicine, a Brief Review
Extracellular vesicles were initially known as cellular waste carriers, while recent studies demonstrate that extracellular vesicles play important biological roles in all aspects of life-from single cells to mammalians. Their pathophysiological roles in some diseases like cancer are being decoded. Extracellular vesicles are divided into some classes and there are different strategies to isolat...
متن کاملBiological and Immunological Reactions in Parasitic Diseases
Processed antigen reacts selectively with lymphocytes bearing .appropriate surface immunoglobulin molecules resulting in the clonal proliferation of these cells, producing circulating immunoglobulin (humoral immunity) or non-circulating immunoglobulins (cellular immunity). High levels of circulating immunoglobulins (lgM & lgG) occur in protozoa and helminths infections. Reaginic antibodies a...
متن کاملExtracellular vesicles in diagnosis and therapy of kidney diseases.
Extracellular vesicles (EV) are endogenously produced, membrane-bound vesicles that contain various molecules. Depending on their size and origins, EVs are classified into apoptotic bodies, microvesicles, and exosomes. A fundamental function of EVs is to mediate intercellular communication. In kidneys, recent research has begun to suggest a role of EVs, especially exosomes, in cell-cell communi...
