Abstract

EVs are classified in two categories based on their biogenesis. Specifically, small vesicles of originated from endosomes in physiological and pathological conditions and released by a fusion of multi-vesicular bodies to the cell membrane, while shed micro-vesicles, with a typical size, present in almost any extracellular bodily fluid and are responsible for the exchange of molecular materials between cells.
