Extensive surface protein profiles of extracellular vesicles from cancer cells may provide diagnostic signatures from blood samples

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are membranous particles (30–1,000 nm in diameter) secreted by cells. Important biological functions have been attributed to 2 subsets of EV, the exosomes (bud from endosomal membranes) and the microvesicles (MV; bud from plasma membranes). Since both types of particles c...
