The protein cargo of extracellular vesicles correlates with the epigenetic aging clock of exercise sensitive DNAmFitAge.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are implicated in inter-organ communication, which becomes particularly relevant during aging and exercise. DNA methylation-based aging clocks reflect lifestyle and environmental factors, while regular exercise is known to induce adaptive responses, including epigenetic adaptations. Twenty individuals with High-fitness (aged 57.

Modeling the Impact of Extracellular Vesicle Cargoes in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease.

: We aimed to assess the relationship among circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), hypoxia-related proteins, and the conventional risk factors of life-threatening coronary artery disease (CAD) to find more precise novel biomarkers. : Patients were categorized based on coronary CT angiography. Patients with a Segment Involvement Score > 5 were identified as CAD patients.

Formulation and characterization of nanofibrous scaffolds incorporating extracellular vesicles loaded with curcumin.

Due to their small size, flexibility, and adhesive properties, extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promises as effective drug delivery systems. However, challenges such as the variability in vesicle types and the need to maintain their integrity for medical applications exist. Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric and known for its diverse health benefits, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, faces obstacles in clinical use due to issues like low solubility, limited absorption, and rapid breakdown in the body.

Therapeutic and pharmacological applications of extracellular vesicles and lipoproteins.

In recent years, various approaches have been undertaken to eliminate lipoproteins co-isolated with extracellular vesicles, as they were initially regarded as contaminating entities. However, novel discoveries are reshaping our perspective. In body fluids, these distinct particles not only co-exist, but also interactions between them are likely to occur.

Reduced circulating CD63 extracellular vesicle levels associate with atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolaemic mice and humans.

Aims: The association and co-isolation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown in blood plasma. Here we explore this relationship to better understand the role of EVs in atherogenesis.

Methods And Results: Wild type (WT), PCSK9, and LDLR C57BL/6 mice were used in this study.
