</h3><p>Our research program investigates the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes as biomarkers and effectors in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Our teams’ recent studies pioneered the study of hyperglycemia and cytokine signaling in modulating the regulated release of microRNA from macrophages into exosomes. Our findings provided the first evidence documenting a role for high glucose-exposed macrophage exosomes as contributors to cardiovascular inflammation and atherosclerosis in diabetes. They also demonstrated that exosomes produced by IL4-exposed macrophages can serve to overcome cardiometabolic inflammation, improve insulin resistance, and resolve atherosclerosis in obese diabetic mice. </p><p>Our ongoing studies point to ApoE and as a critical modulators of exosome inflammatory activity in the cardiovascular and neurologic systems. We are interested to know if ApoE4 causes macrophages and microglial cells to produce exosomes that can accelerate inflammation and pathologies in these compartments. Our long-term goal is to develop macrophage exosomes as novel therapeutics to control human cardiometabolic and neuroinflammatory diseases. </p><h4>BREAKING NEWS</h4><ul><li>Raffai Lab Reports the use of IL4-Polarized Human Macrophage Exosomes as Novel Biologics to Control Cardiometabolic Inflammation & Type II Diabetes<br><strong>Read more:</strong> <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35292359/" target="_blank">IL-4 polarized human macrophage exosomes control cardiometabolic inflammation and diabetes in obesity</a><br> </li><li>Raffai Lab Reports new Biological Properties for Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) that Control MicroRNA-Regulated Macrophage Immunometabolism & Inflammatory Signaling via Extracellular Vesicles<br><strong>Read more:</strong> PMID: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32668250/" target="_blank">32668250</a>, PMID: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37593979/" target="_blank">37593979</a></li></ul> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div > <div class="columns paragraph paragraph--type--kan-columns paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Research</div> <div class="columns__wrap"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div > <div class="columns text-vert-align--top columns--layout-column-wider-left paragraph paragraph--type--kan-columns paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="columns__wrap"> <div class="columns__item-list"> <div class="columns__item columns-col1"> <div > <div class="text-block paragraph paragraph--type--kan-text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="text-block__text"> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-rounded-overlay" aria-label="Image about Raffai Lab About US"> <div class="corner-detail mobile"> <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" x="0px" y="0px" width="50px" height="50px" viewBox="0 0 50 50" style="enable-background:new 0 0 50 50;" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <style type="text/css"> .st0{fill:none;stroke:#FEB80A;stroke-width:5;stroke-miterlimit:10;} </style> <polyline class="st0" points="2.5,50 2.5,2.5 50,2.5 " /> </svg> </div> <div class="corner-detail desktop"> <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" x="0px" y="0px" width="100px" height="100px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" style="enable-background:new 0 0 100 100;" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <style type="text/css"> .st0{fill:none;stroke:#FEB80A;stroke-width:5;stroke-miterlimit:10;} </style> <polyline class="st0" points="2.5,100 2.5,2.5 100,2.5 " /> </svg> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/rounded_overlay/public/2024-05/raffailab-aboutus.png.webp?itok=_Awtg-nA" width="960" height="540" alt="Raffai Lab About US" class="image-style-rounded-overlay"> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="columns__item columns-col2"> <div > <div class="text-block paragraph paragraph--type--kan-text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="text-block__text"> <div style="margin-top:40px;"><p>Our laboratory pioneered novel approaches to isolate Exosomes from conditioned cell culture media and biofluids for their subsequent study as biomarkers and contributors to cardiovascular inflammation and atherosclerosis.</p><p><a class="btn-outline-editor" href="/atherosclerosis-research-lab-research" title="Read more" aria-label="Read more" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="23a98188-0168-4625-a0bc-6eece478b797" data-entity-substitution="canonical">Read More</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div > <div class="columns text-vert-align--top columns--layout-column-wider-left paragraph paragraph--type--kan-columns paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="columns__wrap"> <div class="columns__item-list"> <div class="columns__item columns-col1"> <div > <div class="filtered-list paragraph paragraph--type--kan-filtered-list paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="filtered-list__header"> <div class="filtered-list__title"> <h2>Recent Publications</h2> </div> </div> <div class="filtered-list__view"> <div class="field field--name-kan-field-views field--type-viewsreference field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="node--content node__content view view-publications-for-lab view-id-publications_for_lab view-display-id-block_2 js-view-dom-id-974e801b44eb6fccec672f75edab3975a0bb1aacf381914e0cb283fbbf566cf8"> <div class="view-header"> <style> .node--content-pubs.node__content-pubs { margin: auto !important;
