Exosomes and Friends: A General Overview on Reproduction by Faranak Mohammadpour Lashkari, Anahita Mohseni Meybodi and Marjan Sabbaghian* in Perceptions in Reproductive Medicine
Nowadays, extracellular vesicles (EVs) as phospholipid bilayer enclosed vesicles are as popular as they have ever been. EVs are secreted by different cells and they target both tissues and/or cells in the body [1]. They play key roles in various aspects of biology, such as reproduction, as biomarkers of disease and as potent targets for therapeutic interposition [2]. Depending on their size, contents, biogenesis and function they have been classified as microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, ectosomes and exosomes [3].
