Exosomes and Exosomal RNA – A Way of Cell-to-Cell
... Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin participating in cell-to-cell communication, partly by the transfer of exosomal RNA between cells. These extracellular vesicles are released by most cells and found in many body fluids including plasma and urine. Exosomes differ comp ...
