Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles released by cells and contain important components such as lipids, proteins, and mRNAs. EVs play a crucial role in cancer cell migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and cell survival in the tumor microenvironment. They also hold diagnostic and prognostic significance in various cancers.

This approach improved the purity and enrichment efficiency of the isolated EVs. The study identified differentially expressed proteins in liver tissue EVs from healthy and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) bearing-mice, providing insights into HCC biomarkers and drug screening. The novel isolation strategy enables the direct enrichment of EVs from tissues and could be beneficial for biomedical and clinical research.

This technology has the potential to be adapted for multiplexed protein analysis of any nanoparticle.
