Exosomes are small secreted vesicles that can transfer their content to recipient cells. In cancer, exosome secretion has been implicated in tumor growth and metastatic spread. In this study, researchers at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark explored the possibility that exosomal ...
Read More »Functions and Therapeutic Roles of Exosomes in Cancer
The role of exosomes in cancer development has become the focus of much research, due to the many emerging roles possessed by exosomes. These microvesicles that are ubiquitously released in to the extracellular milieu, have been found to regulate immune ...
