Cover Story: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse group of particles that are taken up by cells to affect a variety of signaling cascades. Recently, cell type-specific extracellular vesicles (CTS-EVs) have garnered attention for their unique biogenesis and molecular composition, as they enable highly targeted cell-specific communication that affects a variety of physiological functions. These properties are also exploited for disease propagation, such as in cancer, neurological disorders, autoimmune conditions, and more. The insights gained from analyzing CTS-EVs in different biological roles not only enhance our understanding of physiology but also open new avenues for diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a wide spectrum of disorders.
