Updating the MISEV minimal requirements for extracellular vesicle studies: building bridges to reproducibility

Updating the MISEV minimal requirements for extracellular vesicle studies: building bridges to reproducibility

An editorial describing “minimal experimental requirements for definition of extracellular vesicles (EVs)”, or more simply “minimal information for studies of EVs (MISEV)” was published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles in late 2014 [1]. Similar to guidelines in other scientific fields [2–4], “MISEV2014”, as we will call it here, provided recommendations on experimental methods and minim...

Building Bridges to the Cortex

Innervation of the neocortex by the thalamus is dependent on the precise coordination of spatial and temporal guidance cues. In this issue of Cell, work by López-Bendito et al.(2006) reveals that tangentially migrating cells within the ventral telencephalon are essential for axonal navigation between the thalamus and the neocortex, a process apparently mediated by Neuregulin-1/ErbB4 short- and ...

Building bridges to integrate care

The widespread epidemiological shift from acute to chronic illnesses in the population has been accompanied by an increasing recognition of the need to simultaneously address the interacting physical, mental health and social needs of patients. A fragmented health care system built around single diseases and institutions cannot effectively address these complex needs. Health system reform is ne...
