Abstract
Exosomes are small vesicles secreted in relative abundance by cancer cells, which may prove useful as disease markers. However, exosomes also exhibit potent functions; modulating the behavior of immune- and other cells. Bridging our understanding of their molecular phenotype and functional mechanisms will provide key insight into their importance in cancer.Entities:
