Carolina RH, Solène A and Renata TS

Exosomes are small vesicles, between 30 nm to 100 nm in size and endosomal origin, are present in a variety of biological fluids, such as plasma, urine, saliva, semen, among others. They are produced both during and pathological conditions by a variety of cell types. However, this production by tumor cells occurs in greater abundance.
