Imagine exosomes as tiny messengers traveling through the body, carrying important cargo. Scientists have investigated whether ferritin and TfR, two proteins involved in iron metabolism, can be detected in plasma neural-derived exosomes to identify potential markers for Parkinson’s disease (PD). By isolating these exosomes from PD patients and healthy controls, researchers found significantly higher levels […]
