Exosomes in inflammation and cancer.

Caption

Exosomes, which can be generated by various cells, exhibit a dichotomous role in inflammation, demonstrating both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory effects. They possess the capacity to influence tumor progression via regulation of the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, exosomes hold significant potential for application in diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and drug delivery systems.
