Exosome RNA

Delivered more than 24 hours after a stroke in mice, the biomaterial promoted vascular repair, neural remodeling and improved motor performance Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an injectable biomaterial that helps transform the cavity left behind after a stroke caused by a blood clot into an environment more supportive of repair.

The Slovak Society for Extracellular Vesicles (SlovSEV) was established at the Biomedical Research Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (BMC SAS) - the first professional society in Slovakia focused on research into extracellular vesicles and their application in biomedical research and clinical practice. The initiator and president of the society is Dr. Zuzana Vince Kážmérová, a researcher at BMC SAS.

Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are tiny membrane-bound particles released by cells. They carry proteins, RNA, lipids, and other molecules between cells, allowing them to communicate with one another. In the developing brain, this communication can help guide immature cells toward specific cell types and influence how neural circuits are formed.
