Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018):a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines
The last decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications describing physiological and pathological functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a collective term covering various subtypes of cell-released, membranous structures, called exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, apoptotic bodies, and many other names. However, specific issues arise when working with these entities, whose size and amount often make them difficult to obtain as relatively pure preparations, and to characterize properly. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) proposed Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles ("MISEV") guidelines fo…
Glutamate Excitotoxicity in the Cerebellum Mediated by IL-1β
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the prototypic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS. Symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction, such as tremors and ataxia, are relatively common in MS, but available treatment options are generally of limited value. Although many clinical manifestations of MS are
