Introduction. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite with an exceptional capacity to colonize a broad range of host species and cell types. Successful infection depends on its ability to manipulate host metabolism, including lipid pathways that are essential for membrane biogenes...
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to mediate intercellular communication, virulence, and immune modulation. Here we show that bacteria can utilise EVs also as recyclable nutrient reservoirs. Using Bacillus cereus as a model organism, we demonstrate that EVs exhibit distin...
The composition and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influence tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ECM layering are poorly understood. Tumor-stroma interaction is critically dependent on cell-cell communication mediated by exosomes, small ves...

Microbiota-released extracellular vesicles (MEVs) have emerged as a key player in intercellular signaling. However, their involvement in the gut-brain axis has been poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cargo capacity of MEVs for bioactive metabolites and their interacti...
Background Probiotics have attracted considerable interest for ulcerative colitis (UC); however, their efficacy is highly strain-specific and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
Results Accumulating evidence indicates that bacterial extracellular vesicles (BE...
