J Extracell Biol . 2024 Jun; 1(9):e55. PMID: 38938772
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are suggested to have a role in the progression of neurodegeneration, and are able to transmit pathological proteins from one cell to another. One of the biofluids...

Background: A high prevalence of onchocerciasis-associated epilepsy (OAE) has been observed in onchocerciasis-endemic areas with high ongoing transmission. However, the pathogenesis of OAE remains to be elucidated. We hypothesise that...

J Extracell Vesicles . 2023 Dec; 12(12):e12383. PMID: 38082559
Dementia is a leading cause of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence as global life expectancy increases. The most common neurodegenerative disorders are Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)...

Biomolecules . 2023 Jun; 13(6). PMID: 37371512
Urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an attractive source of bladder cancer biomarkers. Here, a protein biomarker discovery study was performed on the protein content of small urinary EVs (sEVs) to...

Deville S, Garcia Romeu H, Oeyen E, Mertens I, Nelissen I, Salvati A
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Jan; 24(1). PMID: 36613705
Extracellular vesicles are membrane-bound carriers with complex cargoes, which play a major role in intercellular communication, for instance, in the context of the immune response. Macrophages are known to release...

PLoS Pathog . 2022 Sep; 18(9):e1010848. PMID: 36149920
Aneuploidy causes system-wide disruptions in the stochiometric balances of transcripts, proteins, and metabolites, often resulting in detrimental effects for the organism. The protozoan parasite Leishmania has an unusually high tolerance...

Front Immunol . 2021 Jul; 12:702359. PMID: 34276695
It was previously shown that secretion of PE-PGRS and PPE-MPTR proteins is abolished in clinical isolates with a deletion in the operon, which is associated with increased virulence. Here we...
