Extracellular vesicles
Extracellular vesicles: Extracellular vesicles are membrane surrounded structures released by cells in an evolutionally conserved manner. They roughly fall into the size ranges of viruses, bacteria and platelets. Extracellular vesicles are heterogenous and a consensus terminology for their different subtypes is yet to be developed. The major populations include exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies.
