Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can promote the recovery of neural function after cerebral apoplexy by secreting multiple cytokines. In addition, cell factor-derived extracellular vesicles play an important role in recovery of neural function. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of extracellular vesicles on neural functional recovery and brain tissue remodeling after cerebral apoplexy in a rat model.
Methods: The rat models with local ischemic stroke was established and three random groups were created. In groups A and B, human bone marrow-derived MSCs and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles were transplanted into rats. In the control group (group C), only normal saline was injected. Then, we evaluated motor coordination ability, pathologic changes of the brain, immune responses in the central and peripheral nervous systems, regeneration of blood vessels, and nervous tissue in 4 weeks after cerebral apoplexy.
Results: Obvious regeneration of blood vessels and nervous tissues were identified in groups A and B. There was no significant difference with respect to coordination between groups A and B, but coordination in groups A and B was significantly better than the control group. Immunohistochemical staining of brain tissue showed that extracellular vesicles exerted no effect on infiltration of immune cells in the central nervous system. Weakened immune suppression was noted 1 week after cerebral apoplexy, which provided a favorable environment for remodeling of brain tissue.
Conclusion: MSC-derived extracellular vesicles accelerated neural functional recovery after cerebral apoplexy. The weakened immune suppression was beneficial to remodeling of brain tissue.

Glycosylation, the intricate process of adding carbohydrate motifs to proteins, lipids, and exosomes on the cell surface, is crucial for both physiological and pathological mechanisms. Alterations in glycans significantly affect cancer cell metastasis by mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The subtle changes in glycosylation during malignant transformations highlight the importance of analyzing cell and exosome surface glycosylation for prognostic and early treatment strategies in cancer.

Background: Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), as nano-scale vesicles rich in biological information, hold an indispensable status in the biomedical field. However, due to the intrinsic small size and low abundance of EVs, their effective detection presents significant challenges. Although various EV detection techniques exist, their sensitivity and ease of operation still need enhancement.

Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the most important stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, playing a pivotal role in the development, recurrence, metastasis, and immunosuppression of cancer and treatment resistance. Here, we developed a core-shell biomimetic nanosystem termed as FAP-C NPs. This system was comprised of 4 T1 extracellular vesicles fused with a FAP single-chain antibody fragment to form the biomimetic shell, and PLGA nanoparticles loaded with calcipotriol as the core.

Background: While most thyroid nodules are benign, 7-15% are malignant. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (specifically Bethesda IV/Thy3f) often undergo diagnostic hemithyroidectomy to reach a diagnosis on final histology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating large extracellular vesicles as diagnostic biomarkers in patients presenting with Thy3f thyroid nodules.
