Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of intercellular communication and promising sources of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers, yet effective EV isolation remains challenging due to trade-offs among yield, purity, and adaptability across biofluids. Here, we introduce divalent apt...
Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), underscoring an urgent need for non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers.
Objective: This study aimed to define the metabolomic signature of urinary e...
Crude extracellular vesicles (EVs) from eight healthy volunteers were separated into 6 fractions based on their densities by using the iodixanol-based density gradient centrifugation method. To determine the distribution of miRNAs among these fractions, quantities of 93 miRNAs were quantified by the...
This study examined large renal tubule extracellular vesicles (LRT-EVs) isolated from urine of a 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) rat model that recapitulates many elements of human chronic kidney disease (CKD). Within weeks of 5/6Nx rats spontaneously exhibit proximal tubular damage including brush boarder...
RNA profiling has emerged as a powerful tool to investigate the biomarker potential of human biofluids. However, despite enormous interest in extracellular nucleic acids, RNA sequencing methods to quantify the total RNA content outside cells are rare. Here, we evaluate the performance of the SMARTer...
Urine extracellular vesicles from NSCLC patients were analyzed via LC-MS/MS to identify host and microbial proteins associated with progression-free survival. The study included 33 baseline urine samples and follow-up data. Samples were processed using EVtrap and analyzed on a Q-Exactive HF-X using ...
Progress and advancement in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and its outcomes are limited by the importance of research of endometrial receptivity being overlooked. Due to endometrial biopsy being invasive and in vitro studies lacking reproducibility in vivo, urine is an appealing alternativ...
Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers. Since prognosis ameliorates with early detection, it is a challenge to develop techniques that could replace or complement the current diagnosis protocols. The study of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are present in urine samples has become an attr...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a great potential in clinical applications, however their isolation from different body fluids and their characterisation are not yet optimal or standardised. Here we report the results of examining the performance of ultrafiltration combined with size exclusion chr...
Research in urine proteomics and extracellular vesicles (EV) has gained increasing traction in biomarker research. Previous studies have suggested that both can be affected by urine protein concentration, however, there is a lack of data on the combined effect on urine proteomics. Here, we assessed ...
