Plant Extracellular Vesicles and Their Potential in Human Health Research, the Practical Approach

Extracellular vesicles are small membrane particles (30-1000 nm) released by Bacteria, Eukaryotes and Archaea. They have been shown to play an important role in intracellular and intercellular communication, within and between kingdoms via transport of bioactive molecules. Thus, they can be involved in altering gene expression and regulation of physiological and pathological processes of the recipient. Their unique properties make extracellular vesicles a perfect candidate vector for targeted drug stressed in this review.

Automated summary

Extracellular vesicles are small membrane particles released by organisms and can play a role in communication and regulation of gene expression and physiological processes.
