Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles, typically ranging from 30 to 150 nanometers in diameter, that are secreted by various cell types. They play a crucial role in intercellular communication by facilitating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and RNA between cells. This process can influence various physiological and pathological conditions, including immune responses, cancer progression, and neurodegenerative diseases. By carrying bioactive molecules, exosomes can modulate the behavior of recipient cells, contributing to processes such as tissue repair, immune regulation, and the spread of cancer cells. Their ability to transport molecular cargo makes them a subject of extensive research, particularly in the context of disease mechanisms and therapeutic applications.
