Experimental artefacts can lead to misattribution of bioactivity from soluble mesenchymal stem cell paracrine factors to extracellular vesicles

It has been demonstrated that some commonly used Extracellular Vesicle (EV) isolation techniques can lead to substantial contamination with non-EV factors.Whilst it has been established that this impacts the identification of biomarkers, the impact on apparent EV bioactivity has not been explored.Extracellular vesicles have been implicated as criti

Chemical exposure during pregnancy and oral clefts in newborns

This article presents a literature review on the risk factors for oral clefts (lip and/or palate), emphasizing discussion of maternal exposure to endocrine disruptors.Several studies have identified the risk of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, use of anticonvulsivant drugs, and exposure to organic solvents.A FALL FLORAL protective effect
