Extracellular vesicles are heterogeneous range of lipid-bound particles secreted by cells. EVs can be grouped into two main types based on their composition: exosomes and microvesicles. Exosomes are composed of larger vesicles that carry proteins and other large molecules, while microvesicles are composed of smaller vesicles that carryminor molecules.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound particles that are released by cells and transfer bioactive molecules between cells. They are composed of a variety of molecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. There are two main types of EVs: exosomes and microvesicles. Exosomes are small, endocytic vesicles that are formed in the endosomal compartments of the cell and are released upon fusion with the plasma membrane. Microvesicles, on the other hand, are formed directly from the plasma membrane and are typically larger than exosomes.
