All eukaryotic cells secrete exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from the endocytic compartments known as multivesicular bodies (MVBs), or late endosomes (LEs). Exosomes contain a diverse range of cargo such as nucleic …

Exosomes are multivesicular body-derived extracellular vesicles that are secreted by metazoan cells. Exosomes have utility as disease biomarkers, and exosome-mediated miRNA secretion has been proposed to facilitate tumor growth and metastas…
