Characterization of plasma circulating small extracellular vesicles in patients with metastatic solid tumors and newly diagnosed brain metastasis

A new piece of work from Dr Peinado´s group in which the medical oncologist Alberto Carretero, co-supervised with Guillermo De Velasco Oria de Rueda and Marta Herguetas characterize in depth circulating EVs from patients with brain metastasis. The manuscript is available at

Tetraspanins interweave EV secretion, endosomal network dynamics and cellular metabolism

As part of a Special Issue on EVs on the European J Cell Biology, Víctor Toribio and María Yáñez-Mó discuss how tetraspanins regulate endosomal dynamics and thus impact on EV secretion and cellular metabolism revieweing intriguing new data on this interesting superfamily of proteins. The manuscript is freely available to the scientific community at

Commonly used methods for extracellular vesicles’ enrichment: Implications in downstream analyses and use

As part of a Special Issue on EVs on the European J Cell Biology, a nice update from Dr Borrás group on EV enrichment techniques that will help in decision making for downstream analyses. The manuscript is freely available to the scientific community at

The Contribution of Extracellular Vesicles From Senescent Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells to Vascular Calcification

A mini-review article from GEIVEX members Dr Consuelo Borrás and Dr Matilde Alique. Vascular calcification is an irreversible pathological process associated with a loss of vascular wall function. This process occurs as a result of aging and age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases, and leads to comorbidities. During these age-related diseases, the […]
