Extracellular vesicles in cell biology and medicine
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membranous structures which act as intercellular communicators in both physiological and pathological situations, hence offering extraordinary opportunities for clinical applications. This Collection delivers an overview of current advances in EV research, their application in therapeutics and diagnostics, and advances in the methodological tools for EV study.
