First identification of Ewing's sarcoma‐derived extracellular vesicles and exploration of their biological and potential diagnostic implications

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Exosomes are small RNA- and protein-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are thought to mediate hetero- and homotypic intercellular communication between normal and malignant cells.Tumour-derived exosomes are believed to promote re-programming of the tumour-associated stroma to favour tumour growth and metastasis.
