HUMAN OBESE WHITE ADIPOSE TISSUE SHEDS DEPOT-SPECIFIC EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES AND REVEALS CANDIDATE BIOMARKERS FOR MONITORING OBESITY AND ITS COMORBIDITIES

The group of Dr Pardo have have published a ground-breaking study of EVs on Obesity and its comorbidities. They isolated and characterized extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed by whole human obese visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissues to perform the first proteome reference map and comparative analysis. Further validation shows that obese AT release EVs […]
