Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membraneous vesicles released by a variety of cells into their microenvironment. Recent studies have elucidated the role of EVs in intercellular communication, pathogenesis, drug, vaccine and gene-vector delivery, and as possible reservoirs of biomarkers. These findings have generated immense interest, along with an exponential increase in molecular data pertaining to EVs. Here, we describe Vesiclepedia, a manually curated compendium of molecular data (lipid, RNA, and protein) identified in different classes of EVs from more than 300 independent studies published over the past several years. Even though databases are indispensable resources for the scientific community, recent studies have shown that more than 50% of the databases are not regularly updated. In addition, more than 20% of the database links are inactive. To prevent such database and link decay, we have initiated a continuous community annotation project with the active involvement of EV researchers. The EV research community can set a gold standard in data sharing with Vesiclepedia, which could evolve as a primary resource for the field.
细胞外囊泡 (EVs) 是各种细胞释放到其微环境中的膜性囊泡。最近的研究阐明了 EVs 在细胞间通讯、发病机制、药物、疫苗和基因载体传递以及作为生物标志物的可能储库中的作用。这些发现引起了极大的兴趣,同时也使与 EV 相关的分子数据呈指数级增长。在这里,我们描述了 Vesiclepedia,这是一个经过人工整理的分子数据(脂质、RNA 和蛋白质)综合手册,这些数据是从过去几年中发表的 300 多项独立研究中不同类型的 EV 中鉴定出来的。尽管数据库是科学界不可或缺的资源,但最近的研究表明,超过 50%的数据库没有定期更新。此外,超过 20%的数据库链接是无效的。为了防止这种数据库和链接衰减,我们已经启动了一个持续的社区注释项目,EV 研究人员积极参与其中。EV 研究界可以通过 Vesiclepedia 为数据共享设定黄金标准,这可以成为该领域的主要资源。
