Extracellular Vesicles and Cancer: Caveat Lector

2017-12-04

Abstract excerpt

A great deal of interest has developed around evidence of a role for or a marker of extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes and metastatic cancer. However, the strength of a functional connection between EVs and cancer has been hampered by inadequate characterization of EVs and a lack of mechanistic details describing the means by which molecular constituents are incorporated into target cells. Here we consider the...
