Exosome and Microvesicle Characterization by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
NanoSight is a company that develops, manufactures and supplies nanoparticle characterization instrumentation. The sizing and counting of nanoparticles in liquids is vital in many areas. NanoSight enables the user of its systems to directly visualize nanoparticles particle by particle to derive individual numbers rather than producing the average numbers as may be seen by other techniques, e.g. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS).

Identification of distinct circulating exosomes in Parkinson's disease
OBJECTIVE Whether circulating microvesicles convey bioactive signals in neurodegenerative diseases remains currently unknown. In this study, we investigated the biochemical composition and biological function of exosomes isolated from sera of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS Proteomic analysis was performed on microvesicle preparations from grouped samples of patients with gene...
متن کاملNanoparticle analysis sheds budding insights into genetic drivers of extracellular vesicle biogenesis
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of cell-to-cell communication in healthy and pathological environments. Because EVs are present in a variety of biological fluids and contain molecular signatures of their cell or tissue of origin, they have great diagnostic and prognostic value. The ability of EVs to deliver biologically active proteins, RNAs and lipids to cells h...
متن کاملAn Innovative Method for Exosome Quantification and Size Measurement
Although the biological importance of exosomes has recently gained an increasing amount of scientific and clinical attention, much is still unknown about their complex pathways, their bioavailability and their diverse functions in health and disease. Current work focuses on the presence and the behavior of exosomes (in vitro as well as in vivo) in the context of different human disorders, espec...
متن کاملConcentration-Normalized Electroanalytical Assaying of Exosomal Markers.
Exosomes are both active in mediating intracellular communication and potentially present a potent cargo of disease biomarkers to an assay. The robust evaluation of exosomal markers could lead to a paradigm shift in clinical analysis and associated care. To date, much of this has been hindered by issues of sample preparation and assay signal-to-noise. We introduce here the use of ultrasensitive...
متن کاملHigh-purity capture and release of circulating exosomes using an exosome-specific dual-patterned immunofiltration (ExoDIF) device.
We present a microfluidic device for the capture and release of circulating exosomes from human blood. The exosome-specific dual-patterned immunofiltration (ExoDIF) device is composed of two distinct immuno-patterned layers, and is capable of enhancing the chance of binding between the antibody and exosomes by generating mechanical whirling, thus achieving high-throughput exosome isolation with...
