Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanovesicles that facilitate intercellular communication by carrying essential biomolecules under physiological and pathological conditions including microRNAs (miRNAs). They found in various body fluids, such as blood, urine, saliva, their levels fluctuate with disease progression, making them valuable diagnostic tools. However, isolating EVs is challenging due to small size biological complexity. Here, we summarize the principles behind most common EV isolation methods ultracentrifugation, precipitation, immunoaffinity, sorting, ultrafiltration, exclusion chromatography, microfluidics while highlighting protocol strengths weaknesses. We also review main strategies identify quantify circulating miRNAs a particular focus on EV-encapsulated miRNAs. Since these hold special clinical interest derived from superior stability therapeutic potential, information provided here should provide guidance for future research initiatives promising field of treatment based

Acute rejection (AR) and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IFTA) are significant complications of kidney transplantation that have a negative impact on renal graft lifespan. Kidney transplant monitoring is currently performed with the use nonspecific biomarkers (serum creatinine proteinuria) which limitations detect AR IFTA only after damage to has been done. Moreover, many patients found histological evidence despite stable (subclinical - SCR). The "gold standard" diagnostic test for biopsy also comes can major complications; therefore, it not an ideal routine monitoring. novel non-invasive (blood urine) invasive (graft biopsy) biomarkers, partly driven by advances in omics technologies, lead earlier more accurate detection AR/SCR improved identification immunological pathways AR/IFTA may enable design tailormade treatments. This minireview provides state-of-the-art update current from key studies gives perspective their potential future implementation underlying challenges.
