Outline of Research at the Start


The aim of this research proposal is to reveal the detailed structure and mechanics of exosomes derived from different cell types using 3D-atomic force microcopy (3D-AFM) operating in a liquid environment. We intend to determine the possible differences between normal and cancer-derived exosomes in terms of their structural, molecular, and biomechanical characteristics.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We employed 3D-AFM to reveal the structural and associated-nanomechanical properties of exosomes. 3D-AFM showed the presence of distinct nanodomains bulging out from the membrane surface, which can be attributed to the heterogeneous presence of membrane-associated proteins exposed on the vesicles’ outer surfaces. Our results further showed differences between the nanomechanical properties of metastatic and nonmetastatic cancer cell-derived exosomes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Cancer is a leading cause of death due to late diagnosis. Distinguishing between metastatic and non-metastatic malignant cell-derived exosomes is crucial. This differentiation aids in understanding exosome functions and enhances their use as biomarkers, improving early cancer detection and outcomes.
