Exosomes and extracellular vesicles
Long considered as cellular debris with no biological function, exosomes, and more generally extracellular vesicles (EVs), are now recognized as vectors of biological material with a role in intercellular communication. The building of knowledge on the subject has not only highlighted their role in certain pathologies, but also revealed their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic tools.
The history of biologics: from discovery to therapeutic revolution
Biopharmaceuticals, or biotherapies, are becoming increasingly important on the market, and offer immense hope for the treatment of many diseases. From the first discoveries of vaccines to the recent development of cell and gene therapies and regenerative medicine, looking back at biologics’ history lets us have a better understanding of the revolution that they provoked in the pharmaceutical industry and in modern medicine .
