A natural compound derived from gut-friendly bacteria significantly slows the progression of vitiligo and may restore pigmentation, reports a new pre-clinical study in mice.

Spirulina has solid potential as a therapeutic adjuvant, according to researchers in Australia who isolated extracellular ... vesicles (OIMVs) with two membrane layers, similar to gram-negative ...

These particles, called extracellular vesicles, are considered attractive vehicle models for new drug therapies. But until now, researchers haven't had the complete picture of how they work.

The experimental approach, which uses tiny capsules called small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), could offer an innovative new type of immunotherapy treatment and is poised to move toward more ...

The scientists were able to prove that the coagulation-promoting properties of maternal milk, amniotic fluid, urine -- and now also saliva -- are due to the presence of extracellular vesicles with ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo say they've made a breakthrough in introducing a new trait into bacteria found in wastewater, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.

If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a brushing, you’ve encountered biofilm—a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces. In medical settings, biofilms make infections harder to treat ...

Increasing evidence has indicated that extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in the development and progression of cardiac hypertrophy. In this review, we ...

Extracellular electron transfer is carried out by two mechanisms: direct and indirect electron transfer. Direct electron transfer requires physical connections between the microbial cell and the ...
