Potential and challenges of specifically isolating extracellular vesicles from heterogeneous populations

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted interest due to their ability to provide diagnostic information from liquid biopsies. Cells constantly release vesicles divers in size, content and features depending on the biogenesis, origin and function. This heterogeneity adds a layer of compl...
