How Are Extracellular Vesicles Involved in Cancer?
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, are membrane-bound particles released by cells that carry proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. In cancer, EVs can facilitate communication between tumor cells and the TME, promoting tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. They are also being studied as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
