Description
Haruki Odaka and colleagues published a biotechnology study in 2026 on boosting tiny packets that cells release. These packets, called extracellular vesicles, carry signals between cells. They show promise as disease markers and healing tools. Making cells release more of them is a practical challenge.
The team built a microwave system with active cooling. It holds the cell culture at body temperature during treatment. Ordinary microwave devices overheat cells and kill them. With cooling, cell survival stayed unchanged after irradiation. Vesicle release still rose two to three times above normal. The extra vesicles matched normal ones in size and contents. The system offers a gentle way to raise vesicle production.
