What happens when communication breaks down? We saw from Part 1 that the delivery mechanism is indeed a delicate process that is heavily reliant on the targeting abilities of exosomes and good communication. But similar to FedEx package deliveries, poor communication or specificity can lead to detrimental results. No matter how good the system is, we may have experienced at least one bad delivery. And that could be due to inclement weather, poor traffic and road conditions or simply driver...

You have probably heard the age-old saying to be careful who you listen to and let rent space in your head . Like us, you may have understood the wisdom but failed to see how it connected. Well, many years later, we came to realize that the phrase stemmed from an anatomical truth – our ears are connected to our brainstems. Our brainstems are responsible for vital functions such as breathing, consciousness, sleep, heart rate, balance, coordination, and reflexes. Sounds travel through our ear...

Ever wondered what exosomes are? They are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that are secreted by all living cells, playing an important role in cellular communication and delivery. Or more simply put, they are comparable to our modern FedEx delivery packages. Sent to a specific address, or target cell, they are packed with cargo consisting of proteins, lipids and genetic instructions (mRNA, miRNA). Exosomes are equipped with specific surface proteins, or ‘shipping labels’, that ensure each...
