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...

Gastrointestinal bacteria interact with the host and each other through various mechanisms, including the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, the composition and potential roles of EVs released by gut archaea are poorly understood. Here, we study EVs produced by four strains of h...

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...

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...

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been extensively investigated as a source of clinically relevant cargo. Alongside the secretion of EVs, such as exosomes, cells house a multitude of internal vesicles involved in various physiologic processes and metabolic activities. Herein, we developed ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) constitute an intricate system of molecular exchange that has recently gained tremendous interest. However, sustainable sources of safe biological EVs remain scarce and elusive. In this study we explore and define the use of food industry byproducts (BP) as a circular...

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...

Microbial driven manganese (Mn) reduction influences the geochemical cycling of Mn and the environmental fate of various organic and inorganic substances. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to impact microbial metabolic activities, but their specific role in Mn reduction remains arcane. Here,...
