IntroductionExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer particles ranging from 30 nm to 1 µm in diameter (1). These nanoscale vesicles are released from most cell types into the extracellular space and surrounding biological fluids (1). Consequently, EVs exist in all body fluids, including the blood, urine, tears, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid, and are involved in both local and long-range communication through the regulated exchange of cellular materials (2).
