# Identification of Cell Type-specific EVs for Neuroscience Research

> **NIH NIH R44** · CELLARCUS BIOSCIENCES INC · 2020 · $695,443

## Abstract

Abstract
All cells in the body, including brain cells, release small vesicles that can be found in blood,
cerebrospinal fluid, and even urine. Because each vesicle was released by a specific cell, their
analysis can tell us about the cells from which they came, including whether that cell was
infected, cancerous, or malfunctioning in some way. We will produce tools to analyze these
vesicles to improve the ability to detect, treat, and prevent disease.
