About the group

 

The Buzás lab contributed to the extracellular vesicle field with the following observations:

  1. Demonstration that extracellular vesicles and protein aggregates share several biophysical parameters, and thus, protein aggregates may interfere with extracellular vesicle detection by flow cytometry and may contaminate vesicle preparations (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21041717);
  2. Demonstration that extracellular vesicles and protein aggregates may be discriminated by differential detergent lysis (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21041717);
  3. Introduction of gravity driven size filtration to extracellular vesicle isolation (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21041717);
  4. Demonstration that the use of ACD anticoagulant tubes prevents artefactual in vitro platelet vesiculation (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24360116);
  5. Identification of disease specific extracellular vesicle signature in the synovial fluid of patients with various joint diseases (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23185418);
  6. Demonstration that extracellular vesicles have combinatorial effect with cytokines on the gene expression of cells; (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24705984)
  7. Introduction of a simple 96 well plate total lipid assay to the assessment of the lipid content of extracellular vesicles; introduction of protein to lipid ratio as a parameter characteristic of different extracellular vesicle subpopulations and as a quality control parameter of extracellular vesicles (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25798862);
  8. Demonstration that different extracellular vesicle subpopulations are characterized by differential lipid properties exosomes being characterized by the highest lipid packing densities (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25798862);
  9. Combination of tunable resistive pulse sensing with detergent lysis to prove the vesicular nature of particles and to determine the differential extracellular vesicle subpopulation lysing concentrations of different detergents.(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26264754)
  10. First demonstration of the association of glycosidases with extracellular vesicles (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23099419http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19442276)
  11. First demonstration that LDL mimicks exososmes and microvesicles during isolation and detection. Demondtration that LDL associates with extracellular vesicles in vitro. (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep24316.pdf)
  12. Demonstration that during monocyte activation cell surface thiols are preserved by the release of extracellular vesicles with oxidized membrane pathches (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28323130)
  13. Development of a simple flow cytometry assay to determine the potency of pre-implantation embyos (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5216337/)
  14. First demonstration of antibotics-induced release of exosomes with surface-associated DNA (Németh A et a. Sci Rep 2017)
