Caption Schematic illustration of the biogenesis, sources, and roles of extracellular vesicles in oral and maxillofacial areas. Extracellular vesicles have been detected in almost all cell types ...

each with distinct biogenesis pathways. Exosomes originate from multivesicular bodies (MVBs) that fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing vesicles containing selected cargo such as RNAs ...

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells produce minute (40-1000 nm) membrane vesicles that are released into the local environment. These extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, ...
