Messenger RNA-encoded antibody approach for targeting extracellular and intracellular tau

Brain Communications · 2024 · First author

In my first-author study, we used synthetic mRNA to express RNJ1 as a secreted antibody and an intracellular fragment, and demonstrated tau engagement in human cells.

Small extracellular vesicles contain metals and transfer metal intercellularly

Journal of Extracellular Biology · 2024 · Co-author

I co-authored this study of metals in small extracellular vesicles. We found that these vesicles contain essential and non-essential metals and can transfer metal between cells.
