Exosomes loaded with ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles: a novel low-toxicity alternative to cisplatin

In this study, the group of Pilar Martín-Duque showed that a nanoscale vector based on ultrasmall PtNPs and exosomes exhibits antitumoral properties comparable or higher to those of the FDA approved cisplatin. They demonstrated their anticancer properties both in vitro and in vivo comparing the results obtained with the administration of equivalent amounts of cisplatin, […]

A Rapid, Convergent Approach to the Identification of Exosome Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Models

The group of Dr Vicent describe a rapid, convergent, and cost-efficient strategy to analyze candidate U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs that inhibit exosome release and/or biogenesis using breast cancer cell line models in the hope of repurposing them for the clinical treatment of metastatic tumors based on AlphaScreenTM technology The manuscript is available at […]

N-Glycans in Immortalized Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Are Critical for EV–Cell Interaction and Functional Activation of Endothelial Cells
