Cross-talk between cancer and mesenchymal stem cells through extracellular vesicles carrying nucleic acids.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered to be a novel complex mechanism of cell communication within the tumor microenvironment. EVs may act as vehicles for transcription factors and nucleic acids inducing epigenetic changes in recipient cells. Since tumor EVs may be present in patient biologica...
