Ionising Radiation Promotes Invasive Potential of Breast Cancer Cells: The Role of Exosomes in the Process

Along with the cells that are exposed to radiation, non-irradiated cells can unveil radiation effects as a result of intercellular communication, which are collectively defined as radiation induced bystander effects (RIBE). Exosome-mediated signalling is one of the core mechanisms responsible for mu...
