Unveiling cancer's hidden messengers: How extracellular vesicles aid tumor spread

Source: Phys.org | Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other bioactive molecules to other cells, playing an important role in intercellular communication. But healthy cells are not the only ones that rely on extracellular vesicles. Cancer cells do, too. Small extracellular vesicles that are shed from tumor cells contribute to how cancer...
