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 […]

A simple immunoassay for extracellular vesicle liquid biopsy in microliters of non‑processed plasma

The latest publication from Dr Valés-Gómez group is now available in Journal of Nanobiotechnology. In this article they describe how to detect oncologic biomarkers in exosomes in just 12 microlitres of patients’ plasma. A high-throughput automatable method which allows the study of large cohorts of patients. The manuscript is freely available to the scientific community […]
