What is Exosome?
It is an extracellular vesicle with a diameter of about 100 nm (30-150 nm) with a lipid bilayer structure secreted from various cells and is contained in body fluids such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid.
Exosome functions
- The role of a drug delivery system carrier to load drugs or small interfering RNA with low stability in vivo because it has very small particles and delivers them to the desired site
- Biomolecules such as proteins, metabolites, and nucleic acids derived from the mother cell can be included and labeled inside and transported to target cells for reprogramming
- It is called 'The avatar of cells' by reflects the cell type, transformation, differentiation, activation, and stress state of the mother cell.
- Contains sophisticated RNA and protein transporters and through this, it can function for intercellular signal transduction
- Proof that various cell functions such as immune response, signaling, and antigen presentation are made up of exosomes
- Available use as an indicator for the onset of disease and success of treatment
- Exosome research is currently active in a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic applications
