Rethinking how we sample Extracellular Vesicles – nano-scale delivery trucks between cells – may help us understand diseases like cancer
Almost all cells release Extracellular Vesicles, but our sampling methods aren't perfect. A new grant for Professor Alexander Ivanov aim to improve our sampling techniques, which may help understand EVs' role in cancer and other diseases.
