About us
Vesiculab provides innovative and efficient solutions for nano-bio research. This includes extracellular vesicles (EVs), gene therapy and nano-medicines. Based in Nottingham, UK, the company aims to support scientists worldwide with reagents and consumables that facilitate pre- and post-analytics sample preparation. Vesiculab develops products enabling translational research at the nanoscale, more specifically to the study of the following entities: • Extracellular vesicles (exosomes, microvesicles) • Nanomedicines (lipid nanoparticles, liposomes) • Viral vectors (lentivirus, adeno-associated virus) • Other bio or synthetic nanoparticle (virus, vaccines, virus-like particles) Current product line-up include: Vesi-Ref CD63-GFP: an extracellular vesicle reference material that enables the correct assessment of size and concentration measurement parameters with the most commonly used analytical techniques. Because the EVs that constitute this product express GFP in the presence of CD63, it can also be used to calibrate fluorescence detection sensitivity in flow cytometry, fluorescent nanoparticle tracking (f-NTA) and other techniques capable of fluorescence detection. Vesi-ref CD63 GFP is compatible with: • Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) • (nano) flow cytometry • Dynamic light scattering (DLS) • Single-particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensor (SP-IRIS) • Resistive pulse sensing Vesi-Dye LMB-600: a fluorescent probe specific to lipid bi-layers, which is used as a universal label for extracellular vesicles, liposomes, LNPs, lentiviruses and gram-positive bacteria. Because of its excitation range between 488-525nm and a maximum emission wavelength at 600nm it offers great flexibility and performance. Vesi-Dye LMB-600 is compatible with: • (nano) flow cytometry • Fluorescence nanoparticle tracking analysis (F-NTA) • Fluorescence microfluidic resistive pulse sensing (F-MRPS) • Confocal microscopy

Bacteria trigger extracellular vesicle production to modulate aging physiology: in their latest work, Yun Deng, Georg Pohnert at Friedrich Schiller University Jena and collaborators characterised the recovery process of the bloom-forming diatom Coscinodiscus radiatus from starvation following nutrient influx. Rejuvenation occurs through extracellular vesicles that transport reactive oxygen species, oxylipins, and other harmful metabolites out of the aged cells, thus restoring their ability to proliferate https://lnkd.in/g26BsEDg Their research offers fresh insights into cellular aging and rejuvenation within complex microbial communities.

Investigating the role of small extracellular vesicles in oncoviral infections: in this review article, Łukasz Wazny, Monika Pietrowska at Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology and Whiteside Theresa at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center provided a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of interactions between small extracellular vesicles and oncogenic viruses, emphasizing how sEVs can influence the carcinogenic properties of these viruses https://lnkd.in/eZnFtiGi They observed that there remains a significant gap in understanding the mechanisms governing the interactions between viruses, small extracellular vesicles, and cancer. They also suggested that future antiviral therapies could potentially target sEVs, which facilitate viral infections. #extracellularvesicles #exosomes #oncoviruses #viralinfection #Vesiculab

Evaluating the therapeutic effect of cisplatin-encapsulated autologous iPSC-derived MSC extracellular vesicles: in their latest study, Caroline Küstermann at Latvian Biomedical Research & Study centre and collaborators aimed to demonstrate a proof-of-concept for using patient-specific organoid models of both lung cancer and normal lung tissue, highlighting the feasibility of employing autologous EVs derived from iPSC-MSCs in personalised medicine https://lnkd.in/eSYCCKE7 They noted that EV treatment had no significant effect on organoids, likely due to the insufficient quantity of EVs and the low encapsulated cisplatin dosage used.
