Formation, contents, functions of exosomes and their potential in lung cancer diagnostics and therapeutics

Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related death worldwide due to diagnosis in the advanced stage and drug resistance in the subsequent treatments. Development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods is urged to improve the disease outcome. Exosomes are nano‐sized vehicles which...
