MICROVESICLES

The team is working to identify specific proteins that are released from cancer cells in small packages known as microvesicles. These cancer-specific proteins could be used as new biomarkers for cancer detection, or could be repackaged and presented to the immune system, which would elicit an innate defence against cancerous cells.
