Feline coronavirus influences the biogenesis and composition of extracellular vesicles derived from CRFK cells.

Introduction: Coronavirus (CoV) has become a public health crisis that causes numerous illnesses in humans and certain animals. Studies have identified the small, lipid-bound structures called extracellular vesicles (EVs) as the mechanism through which viruses can enter host cells, spread, and evade the host's immune defenses. EVs are able to package and carry numerous viral compounds, including proteins, genetic substances, lipids, and receptor proteins.

Human adenovirus type 3 restores pharmacologically inhibited exosomal cargo in lung carcinoma cells.

Drug repurposing is fast growing and becoming an attractive approach for identifying novel targets, such as exosomes for cancer and antiviral therapy. Exosomes are a specialized class of extracellular vesicles that serve as functional mediators in intercellular communication and signaling that are important in normal physiological functions. A continuously growing body of evidence has established a correlation between the abnormal release of exosomes with various viral disease pathologies including cancer.

Characterization of cannabis strain-plant-derived extracellular vesicles as potential biomarkers.

The scientific interest in cannabis plants' beneficial properties has recently sparked certain interest in the possible functional characterization of plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs). Establishing the most appropriate and efficient isolation procedure for PDEVs remains a challenge due to vast differences in the physio-structural characteristics of different plants within the same genera and species. In this study, we employed a crude but standard isolation procedure for the extraction of apoplastic wash fluid (AWF) which is known to contain the PDEVs.

Selective pharmacological inhibition alters human carcinoma lung cell-derived extracellular vesicle formation.

Unlabelled: Exosomes also termed small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication in many physiological and pathological processes such as protein clearance, immunity, infections, signaling, and cancer. Elevated circulating levels of exosomes have been linked to some viral infections, aggressive cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Some pharmacological compounds have been demonstrated to effectively inhibit exosome production pathways.

Canine Coronavirus Infection Modulates the Biogenesis and Composition of Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles.

Coronavirus (CoV) has persistently become a global health concern causing various diseases in a wide variety of hosts, including humans, birds, and companion animals. However, the virus-mediated responses in animal hosts have not been studied extensively due to pathogenesis complexity and disease developments. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely explored in viral infections for their intercellular communication, nanocarrier, and immunomodulatory properties.
