Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) showing great potential in wound healing have attracted increasing attention recently. Nondestructive isolation and effective utilization strategies are highly conducive for PEVs developing into recognized therapeutic entities. Here, we present an efficient strategy for PEV isolation and bacterial infected wound healing based on self-assembled DNA microflowers.

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) tRF-LeuCAG-002 (ts3011a RNA) is a novel class of non-coding RNAs biomarker for pancreatic cancer (PC). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been unfit for community hospitals that are short of specialized equipment or laboratory setups. It has not been reported whether isothermal technology can be used for detection, because the tsRNAs have rich modifications and secondary structures compared with other non-coding RNAs.

Article Synopsis
  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, noncoding RNAs (18-22 nucleotides) that play important roles in cellular communication and disease development.
  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry miRNAs and have better detection sensitivity and specificity than traditional serum biomarkers, making them valuable for liquid biopsies.
  • This review discusses recent advances in EVs, including their sorting mechanisms, diagnostic potential, and technology for isolating EVs, while also highlighting challenges and future research directions for using EV-derived miRNAs in clinical applications.

MicroRNA (miRNA) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) has great potential to be a promising marker in liquid biopsy. However, the present EV isolation methods, such as ultracentrifugation, have complicated and long-time operation, which impedes research on EV miRNA. The downstream complex miRNA extraction process will also significantly increase the detection cycle and loss.

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are difficult to treat and harmful. Many CNS diseases are secondary to peripheral diseases, such as tumor brain metastases (BMS), viral infections and inflammation of the brain, and their pathogenic factors travel through the circulatory system to the brain, eventually leading to lesions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in this process.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized, membranous vesicles released by almost all types of cells. Extracellular vesicles can be classified into distinct subtypes according to their sizes, origins and functions. Extracellular vesicles play important roles in intercellular communication through the transfer of a wide spectrum of bioactive molecules, contributing to the regulation of diverse physiological and pathological processes.
