Abstract
Normal and pathologic cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EV), which are defined as 30-2,000 nm spherical organelles. It has been found that EV mediate various biological functions including cellular remodeling and export of biomolecules, extracellular communication, immune stimulation and suppression, and modulation of the cellular microenvironment. EV secreted by human glioma cells contain a wealth of tumor-specific proteins and nucleic acids that can be isolated from patients with these neoplasms. Thus, EV contribute to the development of biomarkers, and additionally have certain therapeutic potential for possible use in neuro-oncology and neurosurgery.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
