Show abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication by transferring diverse bioactive molecules from donor to recipient cells. However, EVs released by distinct cellular lineages become difficult to distinguish when mixed in multicellular experimental models, limiting the analysis of how cell-cell interactions affect EV-associated molecular profiles. To address this, EV-Tracer, a CD63-based dual-fluorescence tracing and capture system for detecting, isolating, and profiling lineage-associated EV fractions, was developed. Achilles or mScarlet was inserted into the small extracellular loop of CD63, enabling tracer-specific EV detection by digital counting, antibody-based isolation, and live-cell visualisation. Exploratory EV RNA sequencing suggested that physical cell-cell contact was associated with distinct EV RNA profiles, including interferon-related signals, which were supported by targeted cellular and EV-associated RNA analyses. EV-Tracer provides a practical framework for investigating lineage-associated EV dynamics and molecular signals in mixed-cell systems.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
