It is becoming increasingly clear that small vesicles released from cells (extracellular vesicles [EVs]) represent a heterogeneous population implicated in cell-to-cell communication. The classifications and nomenclature of EVs are evolving as enrichment strategies and specific characteristics are being unraveled. At ...

DNA fragments packaged in tumor exosomes — small tumor-secreted vesicles — can be used to identify important genetic mutations in cancer, researchers at Weill Cornell have demonstrated. Because exosomes circulate in the blood, the discovery suggests that physicians could eventually ...
