Visit the News Hub Washington University researchers part of team probing inflammation after heart attack Inflammatory cells are visible as colored areas in this PET scan of a persons torso, with brighter colors indicating denser cell clusters. A bright spot on the heart indicates that inflammatory cells are clustered around a site that has lost blood supply, causing a heart attack. An international team of researchers, including scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St Continue reading →

Introduction For more than twenty years, heart failure (HF) has been recognized as a pandemic1 and up-to-date, evidence-based management guidelines have been established. In addition, the importance of early detection and the need for prevention strategies are also recognized. Continue reading →

Introduction Extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies are produced and released by almost all types of cell. EVs vary in size, properties, and secretion pathway depending on the originating cell.1,2 Exosomes are small EVs (sEVs) which are formed by a process of inward budding in early endosomes to form multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with an average size of 100 nm, and released into the extracellular microenvironment to transfer their components.3,4 Microvesicles are composed of lipid components of the plasma membrane and their sizes range from 1001000 nm, whereas apoptotic bodies result from programmed cell death.5 Initially, EVs were considered to maintain cellular waste through release of unwanted proteins and biomolecules; later, these organelles were considered important for intercellular communications through various cargo molecules such as lipids, proteins, DNA, RNA, and microRNAs (miRNAs).6 Previously, it was suggested that EVs play a critical role in normal cells to maintain homeostasis and prevent cancer initiation. Inhibition of EVs secretion causes accumulation of nuclear DNA in the cytoplasm, leading to apoptosis.1 The induction of apoptosis is the principal event of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent DNA damage response.7,8 Several studies reported that exosomes are synthesized by means of two major pathways, the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent and ESCRT-independent, and the processes are highly regulated by multiple signal transduction cascades.18 Exosomes released from the cell through normal exocytosis mechanisms are characterized by vesicular docking and fusion with the aid of SNARE complexes.
