Exosome Tracer Service for Bladder Cancer
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that are released by various cell types, including but not limited to, immune cells, stem cells, and cancer cells with a diameter ranging from 30 to 150 nanometers. Exosomes have gained significant attention as potential sources of biomarkers for bladder cancer. Alfa Cytology offers comprehensive exosome-based analysis services for you.
Exosome in Bladder Cancer
Exosomes play important roles in intercellular communication by transferring various biomolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids (including RNA and DNA), lipids, and metabolites, between cells. Exosomes and their contents can regulate cell proliferation, cell cycle, invasion and migration, metastasis, angiogenesis and cisplatin chemoresistance in bladder cancer.

To further advance the investigation and application of exosomes in bladder cancer, the development of imaging and visualization studies to track exosomes is necessary. Tracing the movement and interactions of exosomes can help researchers understand their roles in tumor progression and identify potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets.
Our Services
In vivo tracing of isolated exosomes is helpful for further studies on the functions and applications of exosomes. At Alfa Cytology, we provide exosome tracking service enabling real-time monitoring and visualization of the dynamic distribution and functionality of exosomes within living organisms, supporting customers in acquiring profound insights into the intricate mechanisms of exosomes in biological processes.
