The Machinery of Exosomes: Biogenesis, Release, and Uptake

Sofia V. Krylova et al.

Summary: Exosomes are small membrane-contained vesicles secreted by cells, which play important roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis, facilitating intercellular communication, and removing cellular debris. They are being extensively studied as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in various diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of exosome biogenesis, release and uptake are still largely unknown. This review aims to provide updated molecular details of these processes to facilitate the design of future impactful exosome experiments.
