Exosomes are considered key elements for communication between cells, but very little is known about the mechanisms and selectivity of transference processes involving exosomes released from different cells.In this study we have investigated transfer hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNs) cells when these HGNs were loaded within secreted by human placental mesenchymal stem (MSCs). These successfully incorporated in MSCs exosome biogenesis pathway as HGNs-loaded exosomes. Time-lapse microscopy...

Abstract Background Exosomes are endocytic-extracellular vesicles with a diameter around 100 nm that play an essential role on the communication between cells. In fact, they have been proposed as candidates for diagnosis and monitoring of different pathologies (such Parkinson, Alzheimer, diabetes, cardiac damage, infection diseases or cancer). Results this study, magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs) were successfully functionalized exosome-binding antibody (anti-CD9) to mediate capture in...

Over the last decade, exosomes from diverse biological sources have been proposed as new natural platforms in drug delivery. Translation of these nanometric tools to clinical practice requires deep knowledge their pharmacokinetic properties and biodistribution. The are sometimes evaluated using biochemical histological techniques that considerably invasive. As an alternative, we present radiochemical labeling milk-derived based on reduced 99mTc (IV) without modifying physicochemical...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) represents the main reservoir of genetic information in cells, which is why it protected nucleus. Entry into nucleus is, general, difficult, as nuclear membrane a selective barrier to molecules longer than 40 kDa. However, some cases, size certain nanoparticles (NPs) allows their internalization nucleus, thus causing direct effect on DNA structure. NPs can also induce indirect effects through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this context, nanomaterials...

Abstract The lack of safe and efficient systemic gene delivery vectors has largely reduced the potential therapy in clinic. Previously, we have reported that polypropylenimine dendrimer PPIG3/DNA nanoparticles are capable tumor transfection upon administration tumor-bearing mice. To be safely applicable clinic, it is crucial to investigate colloidal stability monitor exact biodistribution transfer whole body live subject. Our biophysical characterization shows dendrimers, when complexed with...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been promoted as an attractive option to use cellular delivery vehicles carry anti-tumor agents, owing their ability home into tumor sites and secrete cytokines. Multiple isolated populations described MSCs, but despite extensive in vitro characterization, little is known about vivo behavior. The aim of this study was investigate the efficacy efficiency different MSC lineages derived from five sources (bone marrow, adipose tissue,...

Exosomes are cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) with diameters between 30 and 120 nm. In recent years, several studies have evaluated the therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from different fluids due to their low immunogenicity high biocompatibility. However, producing on a large scale is still challenging. One which they could be isolated in quantities milk. Moreover, regeneration well-known property The present work seeks optimize method for isolating bovine human milk,...
