Confounding factors in vesicle uptake studies using fluorescent lipophilic membrane dyes
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) such as exosomes are nanocarriers of proteins, RNAs and DNAs. Isolation of pure sEV populations remains challenging, with reports of protein and lipoprotein contaminants in the isolates. Cellular uptake – a cornerstone for understanding exosome and sEV function –...
