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 to transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, thereby influencing various physiological and pathological functions of both recipient and parent cells. While intensive investigation has targeted the role of EVs in different pathological processes, for example, in cancer and autoimmune diseases, the EV-mediated maintenance of homeostasis and the regulation of physiological functions have remained less explored. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs, which has been written by crowd-sourcing, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia. This review is intended to be of relevance to both researchers already working on EV biology and to newcomers who will encounter this universal cell biological system. Therefore, here we address the molecular contents and functions of EVs in various tissues and body fluids from cell systems to organs. We also review the physiological mechanisms of EVs in bacteria, lower eukaryotes and plants to highlight the functional uniformity of this emerging communication system.

Marine Chemical Technology and Sensors for Marine Waters: Potentials and Limits Moore, Tommy S.; Mullaugh, Katherine. M.; Holyoke, Rebecca R.; Madison, Andrew S.; Yücel, Mustafa; Luther, George W. (2009-01-01) A significant need exists for in situ sensors that can measure chemical species involved in the major processes of primary production (photosynthesis and chemosynthesis) and respiration. Some key chemical species are O-2, nutrients (N and P), micronutrients (metals), pCO(2), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) pH, and sulfide. Sensors need to have excellent detection limits, precision, selectivity, response time, a large dynamic concentration range, low power consumption, robustness, and less variation of inst...
Protease secretion capacity and perforce analysis of recombinant Bacillus species Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (2000-10-08) Recombinant Bacillus species carrying subC gene encoding serine alkaline protease (SAP) enzyme were developed in order to increase the yield and selectivity in the bioprocess for SAP production. subC gene was amplified from the chromosomal DNA of the wild-type Bacillus licheniformis by using PCR technology; thereafter, subC gene was first cloned into the pRS316 E. coli yeast shuttle plasmid, then sub-cloned into the pHV1431 E. coli-Bacillus shuttle vector, and transferred to the host Bacillus species, i.e. ...
Genome-Scale Networks Link Neurodegenerative Disease Genes to α-Synuclein through Specific Molecular Pathways. KHURANA, V; et. al. (2017-02-22) Numerous genes and molecular pathways are implicated in neurodegenerative proteinopathies, but their inter-relationships are poorly understood. We systematically mapped molecular pathways underlying the toxicity of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a protein central to Parkinson's disease. Genome-wide screens in yeast identified 332 genes that impact alpha-syn toxicity. To "humanize'' this molecular network, we developed a computational method, Transpose Net. This integrates a Steiner prize-collecting approach w...
Immune modulatory effects of pediococcus pentosaceus derived membrane vesicles: mechanism of action and therapeutic applications Alpdündar Bulut, Esin; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2018) In our previous studies, we characterized 5 different human gram positive commensal bacteria derived membrane vesicles (MVs) and compared their activity with non-pathogenic E.coli derived membrane vesicles. Results showed that commensal bacteria derived MVs had immunomodulatory properties whereas non-pathogenic E.coli derived membrane vesicles had immune stimulatory properties. In this thesis, we aimed to focus our attention to Pediococcus pentosaceus-derived MVs that displayed the highest immunomodulatory ...
MicroRNAs show a wide diversity of expression profiles in the developing and mature central nervous system Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2008-10-01) Since the discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Caenorhabditis elegans, mounting evidence illustrates the important regulatory roles for miRNAs in various developmental, differentiation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis pathways of diverse organisms. We are just beginning to elucidate novel aspects of RNA mediated gene regulation and to understand how heavily various molecular pathways rely on miRNAs for their normal function. miRNAs are small non-protein-coding transcripts that regulate gene expression post-...
