Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018):a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines
The last decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of scientific publications describing physiological and pathological functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a collective term covering various subtypes of cell-released, membranous structures, called exosomes, microvesicles, microparticles, ectosomes, oncosomes, apoptotic bodies, and many other names. However, specific issues arise when working with these entities, whose size and amount often make them difficult to obtain as relatively pure preparations, and to characterize properly. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) proposed Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (“MISEV”) guidelines for the field in 2014. We now update these “MISEV2014” guidelines based on evolution of the collective knowledge in the last four years. An important point to consider is that ascribing a specific function to EVs in general, or to subtypes of EVs, requires reporting of specific information beyond mere description of function in a crude, potentially contaminated, and heterogeneous preparation. For example, claims that exosomes are endowed with exquisite and specific activities remain difficult to support experimentally, given our still limited knowledge of their specific molecular machineries of biogenesis and release, as compared with other biophysically similar EVs. The MISEV2018 guidelines include tables and outlines of suggested protocols and steps to follow to document specific EV-associated functional activities. Finally, a checklist is provided with summaries of key points
Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles (MISEV2023): From basic to advanced approaches
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), through their complex cargo, can reflect the state of their cell of origin and change the functions and phenotypes of other cells. These features indicate strong biomarker and therapeutic potential and have generated broad interest, as evidenced by the steady year-on-year increase in the numbers of scientific publications about EVs. Important advances have been made in EV metrology and in understanding and applying EV biology. However, hurdles remain to realising the potential of EVs in domains ranging from basic biology to clinical applications due to challenges in EV nomenclature, separation from non-vesicular extracellular particles, characterisation and functional studies. To address the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) updates its 'Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles', which was first published in 2014 and then in 2018 as MISEV2014 and MISEV2018, respectively. The goal of the current document, MISEV2023, is to provide researchers with an updated snapshot of available approaches and their advantages and limitations for production, separation and characterisation of EVs from multiple sources, including cell culture, body fluids and solid tissues. In addition to presenting the latest state of the art in basic principles of EV research, this document also covers advanced techniques and approaches that are currently expanding the boundaries of the field. MISEV2023 also includes new sections on EV release and uptake and a brief discussion of in vivo approaches to study EVs. Compiling feedback from ISEV expert task forces and more than 1000 researchers, this document conveys the current state of EV research to facilitate robust scientific discoveries and move the field forward even more rapidly

GPU-accelerated Interval Arithmetic to solve the Apollonius Problem applied to a Stereo Drift Chamber
International audienceWe propose a new system of equations which identifies the helix common to all drift distance hits produced by a full stereo drift chamber detector when a charged particle passes through this detector. The equation system is obtained using the Apollonius' problem as guideline which gives it a very simple form and a clear physics interpretability as the case of full axial drift chamber detector. The proposed method is evaluated using drift distance hits constructed from Monte Carlo-generated helix trajectory tracks. The equation system is solved using a robust accelerated GPU brute-force algorithm based on interval arithmetic. All code is written using the Julia programming language
Phase diagram of the orthorhombic, lightly lutetium doped EuMnO 3 magnetoelectric system
International audienceThis paper reports on structural, magnetic, dielectric, thermodynamic, and magnetodielectric properties of Eu1−xLuxMnO3, with 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.2, towards the (x, T) phase diagram. The phase diagram reflects the effect of lattice distortions induced by the isovalent substitution of Eu3+ by smaller Lu3+ ions, which gradually unbalances the antiferromagnetic against the ferromagnetic exchange interactions, enabling the emergence of both ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric coupling. For x < 0.1, the paramagnetic phase is followed by a presumably incommensurate collinear antiferromagnetic phase AFM-1, and then a weak ferromagnetic phase seems to be established, with a canted A-type antiferromagnetic order. For 0.1 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.2, the AFM-1 phase is followed by an antiferromagnetic phase AFM-2 with modulated spiral spin arrangement, compatible with ferroelectricity. The disappearance of hysteresis cycles P(E) at low temperatures, clearly indicates the existence of an antiferromagnetic phase AFM-3, whose spin structure is not compatible with both the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic components. The magnetic behavior of EuMnO3 and Eu0.9Lu0.1MnO3 suggests the existence of a phase line separating the AFM-1 phase from the AFM-2 and AFM-3 phases, which is observed for x = 0.1. Magnetodielectric coupling was evidenced for both x = 0.1 and 0.2 compositions. Ferroelectric polarization and magnetodielectric coupling coefficient are larger for the latter composition
