REG3β modifies cell tumor function by impairing extracellular vesicle uptake

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, are nano-sized membrane vesicles containing proteins and nucleic acids, which act as intercellular messengers. They play an important role in a variety of physiological processes, as well as in pathological situations such...
