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 …

… Myofibroblasts but not fibroblasts stimulate invasion of human colon cancer cells in 24–48
h invasion assays with collagen type I or Matrigel as a substrate (O De Wever, unpublished …

The discovery of the myofibroblast has opened new perspectives for the comprehension of
the biological mechanisms involved in wound healing and fibrotic diseases. In recent years, …

The last decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications describing
physiological and pathological functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a collective term …

We argue that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent reporting
to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments. To achieve this, we describe EV-…

Despite an enormous interest in the role of extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, in
cancer and their use as biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, drug response and recurrence, …

… The proinvasive activity of human myofibroblasts in vitro was shown by De Wever et al.16
using human colon cancer cells and myofibroblasts isolated from surgical colon cancer …

Glioblastomas are aggressive primary brain cancers that recur as therapy-resistant tumors.
Myeloid cells control glioblastoma malignancy, but their dynamics during disease …

Owing to the relationship between extracellular vesicles (EVs) and physiological and pathological
conditions, the interest in EVs is exponentially growing. EVs hold high hopes for novel …
