Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Signatures of Metabolic Health and Exercise Response in a Pilot Study of Older Adults.
Journal Article Am J Physiol Cell Physiol · December 30, 2025 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of intercellular communication and regulators of cellular function, yet their roles in metabolic health and exercise response are poorly understood. This pilot study analyzed plasma from older adults (n=20) in ... Full text Link to item CiteImmune System-Related Plasma Extracellular Vesicles are Strong Predictors of Human Longevity.

Journal Article Osteoarthr Cartil Open · June 2025 OBJECTIVE: We previously identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a key source of TNF-α in the plasma of both knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and healthy individuals. Building on these findings, this study aimed to evaluate the presence of surface-boun ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
