There is growing evidence that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a functional role in tissue repair and anti-aging by transferring the contents of donor cells to recipient cells. We hypothesized that Dauer ( C. elegans ), known as “ageless” nematodes, can also secrete extracellular vesicles and influence the lifespan of C. elegans . Here, we isolated EVs of dauer larvae (dauer EVs). Dauer EVs were characterized using transmiss...

Main conclusion The xyloglucans of all aquatic Araceae species examined had unusual structures compared with those of other non-commelinid monocotyledon families previously examined. Abstract The aquatic Araceae species Lemna minor was earlier shown to have xyloglucans with a different structure from the fucogalactoxyloglucans of other non-commelinid monocotyledons. We investigated 26 Araceae species (including L. minor ), fro...
