EV-TRACK: transparent reporting and centralizing knowledge in extracellular vesicle research

Nat Methods. 2017 Feb 28;14(3):228-232. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.4185.

Abstract

We argue that the field of extracellular vesicle (EV) biology needs more transparent reporting to facilitate interpretation and replication of experiments. To achieve this, we describe EV-TRACK, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase (http://evtrack.org) that centralizes EV biology and methodology with the goal of stimulating authors, reviewers, editors and funders to put experimental guidelines into practice.
