Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018) : a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines

Clotilde Théry, +417 more
TL;DR: The MISEV2018 guidelines include tables and outlines of suggested protocols and steps to follow to document specific EV-associated functional activities, and a checklist is provided with summaries of key points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular Vesicles Produced by Cryptococcus neoformans Contain Protein Components Associated with Virulence

TL;DR: An efficient and general mechanism of secretion of pathogenesis-related molecules in C. neoformans is revealed, suggesting that extracellular vesicles function as “virulence bags” that deliver a concentrated payload of fungal products to host effector cells and tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vesicular Polysaccharide Export in Cryptococcus neoformans Is a Eukaryotic Solution to the Problem of Fungal Trans-Cell Wall Transport

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that C. neoformans produces extracellular vesicles during in vitro growth and animal infection and implies a novel mechanism for the release of the major virulence factor of C. Neoformans whereby polysaccharide packaged in lipid vesicle crosses the cell wall and the capsule network to reach the Extracellular environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular Vesicles from Cryptococcus neoformans Modulate Macrophage Functions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy that mammalian macrophages can incorporate extracellular vesicles produced by C. neoformans to stimulate macrophage function, apparently activating these phagocytic cells to enhance their antimicrobial activity.
