A Better Tool for the Job: Laser-based Technique to Elucidate the Mysteries of Exosomes
Shutterstock Exosomes are small vesicles released by cells, which contain proteins and genetic materials. They are thought to be involved in various life activities, but current techniques to observe them are expensive and time-consuming. In a recent study, a team of undergraduate students from DGIST, Korea, proved the convenience and effectiveness of laser-based technique in identifying exosomes using exosomes from a less studied cancer type, paving the way for future exosome research. Despite our great progress in understanding various cellular mechanisms over the last decades, many of them...
