Small non-coding RNA landscape of extracellular vesicles from an experimental model of equine osteoarthritis. Orthopaedic Proceedings, 105-B(SUPP_8), 119-119. https://doi.org/10.1302/1358-992x.2023.8.119

Joint tissues release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that potentially sustain joint homeostasis and contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. EVs are putative novel therapeutics for OA, and transport biologically active molecules (including small...

PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model (2023)
Journal Article
Gomez, N. E., James, V., Arkill, K. P., Nizamudeen, Z. A., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. C. (2023). PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model. European Journal of Immunology, 53(6), Article 2250143. https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.202250143

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as mediators of intercellular communication and as such influence the recipient cell function. EVs derived from immune cells can carry out many of the same functions as their parental cells, as they carry costimu...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal mRNA modification and is dynamically regulated through distinct protein complexes that methylate, demethylate, and/or interpret the m6A modification. These proteins, and the m6A modification, are... Read More about Clinical and molecular significance of the RNA m6A methyltransferase complex in prostate cancer.
