Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly conserved morphogenic process defined by the loss of epithelial characteristics and the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. EMT is associated with increased aggressiveness, invasiveness, and metastatic potential in carcinoma cells. To assess th...
Secreted microRNAs (miRNAs) enclosed within extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by regulating recipient cell gene expression and affecting target cell function. Here, we report the isolation of three distinct EV subtypes from the human colon carcinoma cell...
We compared the transcriptomic content of salivary exosomes vs. whole saliva via microarray (Affymetrix HU133 plus 2.0). Unstimulated saliva samples and derived exosome-like microvesicles were obtained from 3 healthy volunteers and processed for RNA isolation and microarray analysis.
