The Nature and Nurture of Extracellular Vesicle–Mediated Signaling

Abstract excerpt

In the last decade, it has become clear that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a ubiquitous component of living systems. These small membrane-enclosed particles can confer diverse functions to the cells that release, capture, or coexist with them in an environment. We use examples across living systems to produce a conceptual framework that classifies three modes by which EVs exert functions: ( a ) EV release that...
