GEIVEX members Dr Fernando de la Cuesta and Dr Gloria Alvarez-Llamas are Guest Editors of an Special Issue with the Topic: Beyond Liquid Biopsy: Extracellular Vesicles for Biomarker Discovery of Human Diseases in the Journal Extracellular Vesicles and Circulating Nucleic Acids ISSN 2767-6641 (Online) Submission deadline: 31 May 2023 https://evcna.com/journal/special_detail/1322?fbclid=IwAR1cfHWraDRnJOmqW69ZqR5R0Qqhg7VEO5TAanozY1ZLH6T9L81NJ9FfRU4
Read MoreIn 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, […]
Read MoreThe 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 […]
Read MoreA collaborative work from Dr Borrás´s and Dr Falcón-Perez groups demonstrating the functional relevance of N-Glycans on the surface of EVs. The manuscript is available at https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/17/9539
Read MoreResearchers from the ICREC Group (Cardiac Insufficiency and Regeneration in cardiovascular diseases) at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) continue to work on therapeutic technologies to repair cardiac tissue after a heart attack in collaboration with the IVECAT group (IGTP). In an article published in Theranostics, they present a study of extracellular vesicles […]
Read MoreA 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
Read MoreAs 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
Read MoreAs 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
Read MoreA 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 […]
