Abstract

Extracellular vesicle (EV) research has expanded beyond traditional boundaries, evolving into an inter-kingdom endeavor. First described over 50 years ago, EVs are now recognized as playing diverse roles in basic cellular functions, such as intercellular communication, transport, and cell migration. Their biogenesis and secretion involve complex molecular processes, with cargos that include proteins, lipids, and genetic material. Despite advances, isolation and purification methods are still developing. EVs are present in all body fluids, with different subtypes fulfilling distinct roles. Nonetheless, in biological ecosystems, vesicle diversity can be seen as a strength where each one complements the other in the dialogue between cells and tissues. The involvement of EVs in homeostasis and disease and their well-recognized potential for diagnosis and therapeutics will continue to boost investigations to reveal their fundamental biology.

细胞外囊泡的细胞生物学：一个有无数块的拼图

细胞外囊泡（EV）的研究已经超越了传统的界限，发展成为一个跨领域的努力。50多年前，人们首次对电动汽车进行了描述，现在人们认为电动汽车在细胞间通讯、运输和细胞迁移等基本细胞功能中发挥着多种作用。它们的生物发生和分泌涉及复杂的分子过程，其载体包括蛋白质、脂质和遗传物质。尽管取得了进步，但分离和纯化方法仍在发展中。ev存在于所有体液中，不同的亚型发挥着不同的作用。尽管如此，在生物生态系统中，囊泡多样性可以被视为一种优势，在细胞和组织之间的对话中，每一个囊泡多样性都是互补的。ev在体内平衡和疾病中的作用及其在诊断和治疗方面公认的潜力将继续推动研究以揭示其基本生物学。
