Journal Overview

Aims & Scope

Extracellular Vesicles and Circulating Nucleic Acids provides an online platform for the sharing of research data, new methodology, reviews and commentaries in the areas of extracellular vesicles and circulating nucleic acids including DNA, RNA, and miRNA and their therapeutic use. The journal is committed to the rapid publication of original findings that increase our understanding of the molecular and cell biology, biogenesis, and origin of extracellular vesicles and circulating nucleic acids; and their use as biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognostication and surveillance of disease states, and in therapeutics. Manuscripts with clinical relevance are especially encouraged to promote the translation from basic science to clinical applications. The criteria for acceptance are scientific excellence and originality. All works involving the use of animals and human subjects must have been approved by institutional review committees and adhere to accepted international ethical standards.
