From Benchmark To Airborne: MISEV Guidelines Inspire Fledgling EV/Exosome Analytics Services

By Crystal Cruz

Beyond the use of EVs as drug products or drug delivery vehicles, EVs are also avidly studied to assess their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers to elucidate their influence in biological processes including immune responses, tissue regeneration, and cancer metastasis, and much more.

The Society of Extracellular Vesicles provides characterization guideline known as MISEV (Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles) that are updated intermittently by experts. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a framework for researchers to report their EV studies in a uniform and transparent manner, thereby facilitating data comparison and reproducibility across different laboratories and experimental conditions.
