Exosomes
Exosomes are nanoscale (30-150 nm) membranous vesicles released by cells into the extracellular environment. They play a critical role in cell-to-cell communication by transferring proteins and genetic material from one cell to another, and are often involved in the progression of diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. They have the potential to unlock new treatments and diagnostics, and are being explored as powerful biomarkers and therapeutic agents in a wide range of applications. Exosomes are also being used in drug delivery and organ regeneration, and may even be used to reprogram stem cells.

Glycomics is particularly important in microbiology because glycans play diverse roles in bacterial physiology. Metabolomics combines strategies to identify and quantify cellular metabolites using sophisticated analytical technologies with the application of statistical and multi-variant methods for information extraction and data interpretation.
