Based on the summary of Dr. Krisztina Vukman Visnovitzn\u00e9, research fellow at the Department of Genetics, Cell- and Immunobiology, the study focuses on the mast cells of GFP-transgenic mice, whose mast cells contain fluorescent protein in the cytoplasm. Diffusion chambers were implanted in the peritoneal cavities of the mice and extracellular vesicles (EVs, which are membrane coated particles) that were produced by the chambers were released into the peritoneal cavity of the animal, unlike the cells, which remained in the chamber. This way, the effectiveness of mast cell-derived extracellular vesicles were studied in vivo for the first time. It was demonstrated that the extracellular vesicles, released through the pores of the chamber\u2019s membrane into the peritoneal cavity were primarily taken up by local mast cells. If the mast cells had been exposed to inflammatory stimuli before implantation in the chamber, the vesicles they released induced the production of TNF\u03b1\u00a0(tumor necrosis factor alpha) cytokine in the peritoneal cavity. The results published in the <em>Journal of Extracellular Vesicles<\/em> and the in vivo experimental system demonstrated that a small number of mast cells in certain local compartments of a living organism are able to set up a network-like communication system with the help of EVs. This way, they are able to extend the proinflammatory response that is essential in defense against pathogens. The research results and the system presented in the paper enable the study of mast cells and the extracellular vesicles produced by cells implanted in a chamber in a living organism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-100 keretes\">An implanted device enables in vivo monitoring of extracellular vesicle\u2010mediated spread of pro\u2010inflammatory mast cell response in mice<br \/>\nKrisztina V.
