Shedding light on the cell biology of extracellular vesicles

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 213 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.125 Authors: Guillaume van Niel, Gisela D'Angelo & Graça Raposo Extracellular vesicles are a heterogeneous group of cell-derived membranous structures comprising exosomes and microvesicles, which originate from the endosomal system or which are shed from the plasma membrane, respectively. They are present in biological fluids and are involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Extracellular
