Extracellular vesicles are a heterogeneous and dynamic group of lipid bilayer membrane nanoparticles that can be classified into three different groups depending on their cellular origin...
Read More »New Reference Text Published – Extracellular Vesicles – Methods and Protocols
This volume examines established methods and protocols to isolate and characterize extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their composition, among other techniques including purification, imaging, biofluid-specific and cell-specific isolation and downstream genomic and proteomic profiling. The international group of expert scientists who ...

All body fluids contain cell-derived membrane-enclosed vesicles. Such vesicles are shed by prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells and contain messages to the environment. Cell-derived vesicles are thought to contribute to homeostasis, disease development, and progression, may provide novel biomarkers, and may ...
