      Extracellular vesicles are emerging as biomarkers in breast cancer. Our recent report suggested that an intracellular granular staining pattern of the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in breast tumor sections correlated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, the results showed that NPNT is localized in extracellular vesicles derived from mouse breast cancer cells. In this study, we ...

      Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. The absence of microbial organisms as potential causal agents has given rise to the hypothesis that the inflammation is due to an autoimmune reaction. The defined inflamed areas of the skin lesions argue for an immunological disease with a local production of a causal antigen. Pso p27 is a protein generated in mast cells in psoriatic plaques, but ...
