Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be widely isolated from various tissues including bone
marrow, umbilical cord, and adipose tissue, with the potential for self-renewal and …

In the 1980s, exosomes were described as vesicles of endosomal origin secreted from
reticulocytes. Interest increased around these extracellular vesicles, as they appeared to …

Exosomes play essential roles in intercellular communications. The exosome was
discovered in 1983, when it was found that reticulocytes release 50-nm small vesicles …
