A method of separating extracellular vesicles from blood shows potential clinical translation, and reveals extracellular vesicle cargo gremlin-1 as a diagnostic biomarker

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have potential as minimally invasive biomarkers. However, the methods most commonly used for EV retrieval rely on ultracentrifugation, are time-consuming, and unrealistic to translate to standard-of-care. We sought a method suitable for EV separation from blood that coul...
