Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Extracellular vesicles including exosomes are recognized as novel intercellular communication vehicles, and it has been revealed that they play significant roles in various diseases processes. Therefore, they are appreciated as a potential biomarker or target for the diagnosis and therapy. However, the purification and characterization of exosomes is still insufficient. In this study, adsorption behaviors of exosomes were examined on surfaces of various properties using atomic force microscopy. Adsorption behaviors of exosomes were different depending on the surfaces properties and cell lines, indicating that the difference in adsorption on the surfaces can be available for characterization of exosomes.
