Extracellular Vesicle Mimetics vesicles mimetics (EVMs) prepared from top-down approaches exhibit superiority both in production and biological properties as potential alternatives of extracellular (EVs). By extruding through membrane filters with decreased pore sizes, EVMs can be produced a large scale. In article 2200142, Chenhui Gu, Liqing Shangguan, Xianfeng Lin co-workers summarize the pre...

Cellulose-based wound dressings are increasingly in demand due to their biocompatibility and extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking properties.

Extracellular heat-shock proteins (HSPs) interact with the immune system in a very complex manner. Many such HSPs exert powerful effects on the immune response, playing both stimulatory and regulatory roles. However, the influence of the HSPs on immunity appears to be positive or negative in nature - rarely neutral. Thus, the HSPs can act as dominant antigens and can comprise key components of ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that are extensive webs of DNA covered with antimicrobial proteins into the extracellular environment during infection or inflammation as a part of their defense arsenal. Image acquisition of fluorescently labeled NETs and subsequent image-based quantification is frequently used to analyze NET formation (NETosis) in response to various stimuli. However, the...
