The Double-Edged Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer-enclosed particles secreted by most cell types, are gaining increasing attention for their dualistic roles in neurodegenerative disorders. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), EVs function as both messengers of toxicity and protectors of neuronal integrity, making them critical yet complex components in disease progression and potential therapy. Creative Biolabs is honored to invite Dr. Francesc Guix to speak on the double-edged role of extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer's disease. Key Points EV Characteristics: How nano-sized, cell-released vesicles transport nucleic acids, proteins, etc. and facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The Role of EVs in Brain Physiology: EVs support communication between neurons and glia, contributing to brain homeostasis. The Dual Role of EVs in AD: EVs help clear toxic proteins but may also spread misfolded proteins (e.g., tau, Aβ) and enhance neuroinflammation. Therapeutic Potential: Primarily discussing the application of targeted EVs for AD treatment, enhanced beneficial effects, and application as diagnostic biomarkers.
