Extracellular Vesicles

EVs are small, membrane-bound vesicles that are released by cells into the extracellular environment. They contain various biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and are involved in many different physiological and pathological processes.

EV research is a rapidly growing field and has the potential to revolutionize many areas of medicine, including cancer diagnosis and treatment, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. There are many different types of EVs, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, each with their own unique characteristics and functions.

Some of the key challenges in EV research include developing reliable methods for isolating and characterizing EVs, understanding their precise biological roles, and developing effective EV-based therapies.

In this page, you will find extensive resources to learn more about how and researchers around the world are working to address those challenges and tools from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to unlock the full potential of EVs.
