CD9 inhibition reveals a functional connection of extracellular vesicle secretion with mitophagy in melanoma cells

A TeNTaCLES collaboration between Yáñez-Mó and Peinado´s groups. Discover how: Tetraspanins are much more than EV markers Plasma membrane is an important source for EV cargo EV biogenesis impacts on mitochondrial quality control Biomedical potential of tetraspanin-targeted blocking peptides in tumor growth All the details at  http://doi.org/10.1002/jev2.12082

Targeting Alzheimer’s disease with multimodal polypeptide-based nanoconjugates

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, remains incurable mainly due to our failings in the search for effective pharmacological strategies. Here, we describe the development of targeted multimodal polypeptide-based nanoconjugates as potential AD treatments. Treatment with polypeptide nanoconjugates bearing propargylamine moieties and bisdemethoxycurcumin or genistein afforded neuroprotection and displayed neurotrophic effects, as […]

IPs meeting about EV-associated nucleic acids. March 4th 2021.

Dr Valés-Gómez chaired the discussion on different aspects of biomarker discovery based on the detection of EV-associated nucleic acids. Both Dr Otaegui, Dr Peinado and Dr Valés-Gómez presented their results focused on circular RNAs, DNA or mRNA detection, respectively. A lively discussion about methodologies used, limitations and results-driven solutions was held and some ideas and […]

IPs meeting about SPREC preanalytical codes. January 18th 2021.

Dr López-Guerrero summarized the concept of SPREC codes and the data from previous reports analysing the experimental evidence in the literature that supports the effect of preanalytical conditions in which biological samples are obtained in the outcome of EV isolation and characterization. SPREC codes are meant to standardize samples among different laboratories and biobanks. There […]
