Summary
Our cells secrete various types of extracellular vesicles, which carry essential messages to other cells in our body. Yet, the small, virus-like size of these vesicles makes it challenging to study and discriminate between them. This impedes our ability to determine their biological function, and we will, therefore, purchase an instrument specifically designed for extracellular vesicle analyses.
