In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of
intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity …

It is known that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are shed from cells of almost every type of cell or
organism, showing their ubiquity in all empires of life. EVs are defined as naturally released …

In mammalian systems RNA can move between cells via vesicles. Here we demonstrate that
the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which infects mice, secretes …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a ubiquitous mechanism for transferring
information between cells and organisms across all three kingdoms of life. In addition to their …

Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion
people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible …

Parasitic diseases affect billions of people and are considered a major public health issue.
Close to 400 species are estimated to parasitize humans, of which around 90 are …

Small RNA research is a rapidly growing field. Apart from microRNAs, which are important
regulators of gene expression, other types of functional small RNA molecules have been …

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a socio-economically devastating mosquito-borne Neglected
Tropical Disease caused by parasitic filarial nematodes. The interaction between the …

Helminth parasites have a remarkable ability to persist within their mammalian hosts, which
is largely due to their secretion of molecules with immunomodulatory properties. Although …

Abstract Background. Throughout Asia, there is an unprecedented link between
cholangiocarcinoma and infection with the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. Multiple …
