Exosomes Derived from Squamous Head and Neck Cancer Promote Cell Survival after Ionizing Radiation.

Exosomes are nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles that are believed to function as intercellular communicators. Here, we report that exosomes are able to modify the radiation response of the head and neck cancer cell lines BHY and FaDu. Exosomes were isolated from the conditioned medium of irradia...
