Finally out in #Proteomics journal: SPROUTS_DB, a contaminant protein #database designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of LC–MS/MS-based analyses in cell #secretome and #ExtracellularVesicle studies. analyticalsciencejournals.on… (1/5)

SPROUTS_DB: An Implemented Database of Contaminants for Extracellular Vesicle Proteomics Studies

Current proteomics techniques allow rapid identification and quantification of proteins within any given biological source. However, LC–MS/MS proteomics is vulnerable to laboratory and sample-assoc...

Great achievement by @CarmenFalcone6 lab!!! Varicose projection #astrocytes are associated with #neuropathology and #aging, and may serve as delivery platform for #ExtracellularVesicles, under inflammatory conditions. So proud of you my friend!!! Ad maiora…

The first work of the #FalconeLab is finally out!!! 🤩 A story of #astrocytes from evolution to disease. Thanks everyone who made this possible! Varicose projection astrocytes: Conserved reactive cells in brain pathology | @ScienceAdvances science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @TowsonU

Varicose projection astrocytes: Conserved reactive cells in brain pathology

Varicose projection astrocytes emerge as a conserved reactive phenotype linked to inflammation and brain pathology.

Our work on #Microglia and #TDP-43 in early #brain development is finally out @NatureNeuro! Congrats to the brilliant @AnneCompagnion and thanks to the many collaborators!!! Enjoy the read!! :) nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Microglial TDP-43 mediates myelin refinement and represses Tyrobp cryptic exon inclusion in mice

Nature Neuroscience - Compagnion et al. show that TDP-43 loss in microglia causes myelin defects, oligodendrocyte precursor cell imbalance and motor deficits in mice. They identify TDP-43 as a...

SPROUTS_DB was developed via proteomics analysis of complete medium with EV-depleted FBS – but without cells – mimicking all the passages for EV purification. SPROUTS_DB includes 1288 entries, representing soluble and EV bovine proteins, plus common laboratory contaminants. (4/5)

SPROUTS_DB improves the discrimination of contaminants, outperforming existing databases in the accuracy and reliability of true sample protein identification. It fills a critical gap in proteomics workflows, promoting reproducibility in EV-related research. Check it out!! (5/5)

Very well done @marco_falcone_ !! More to come...
Marco Falcone@marco_falcone_Apr 27
#ISEV2026 annual meeting in #puertorico just wrapped up 🇵🇷 Learned a lot about #extracellularvesicles across kingdoms, diseases and theranostics. Also presented a poster on #plasma #biomarker discovery and the #musclebrainaxis in #neurodegeneration. Not just science though! 🐠
