Extracellular Vesicle Cargo During Type 1 Diabetes Progression

Overview

About this study

This study aims to identify an early stage biomarker for type 1 diabetes. In vitro evidence identified a significant enrichment of the chemokine CXCL10 in β-cell derived EXO upon exposure to diabetogenic pro-inflammatory cytokines. The study also aims to test protocols for efficient isolation of plasma-derived EXO from small volumes of sample, develop an assay for the sensitive detection of CXCL10 in plasma-derived EXO, and characterization of plasma-derived EXO through assessment of concentration, size, and content (proteomics).
