Rajagopal Ramesh is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center of the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Ramesh’s research is concerned with developing novel, gene-based therapeutics in translational cancer research. Findings from Dr. Ramesh’s lab have led to clinical trials for treatment of solid tumors and he publishes regularly in well-regarded international journals. Klappentext Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications of Exosomes in Cancer evaluates the potential of exosome content manipulation in the development of novel therapeutics. In recent years, exosomes, the small vesicles produced by all cell types, have been identified as contributors to cancer growth and metastasis. However, due to their unique biophysical properties, they are also being tested for use in therapeutic design and delivery, as well as in diagnostics. This book presents a comprehensive analysis on exosomes, with a main emphasis on their biogenesis and signaling, use as biomarkers, and as tools for imaging, drug delivery and the treatment of cancer.
