Extracellular Vesicles: Isolation, Characterization, Function, Application and Utility

Dear Colleagues,

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles that are secreted by all cell types and are key mediators of intercellular communication. Several subtypes of EVs exist, and the biogenesis mechanisms of these various subtypes need to be better understood. Decades of research on EVs have opened new study avenues; for instance, EVs have been used as targets to alleviate disease progression or as drug delivery vehicles to improve health. Hence, several studies aimed at isolating EVs and characterizing them have often been performed. In this Topic, all aspects of all EV subtypes will be investigated.
