Exosomes: Exploiting the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potential of Nature’s Biological Nanoparticles

Research on exosomes and other forms of extracellular vesicles (EVs) have rapidly expanded over the last two decades. These lipid-enclosed, nanoscale messengers are released from cells packed with diverse cargo and can travel long distances to modify the function of target cells. Found in abundant quantities in biological fluids like blood, there is great clinical interest in using EVs as diagnostic markers or altering their properties for therapeutic delivery. Tune in to find out more about what exosomes are, how researchers study them, and what challenges remain. This talk will highlight multi-laser nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) with the ViewSizer 3000 and what it offers in exosome research.
