Exosome Biogenesis and miRNA Delivery in Immune Communication

Caption

Exosomes are formed within multivesicular bodies and released into the extracellular space carrying selectively sorted miRNAs. These vesicles deliver regulatory signals to recipient cells, facilitating immune homeostasis, inter-organ communication, and responses to cancer and infectious diseases. Understanding how miRNAs are packaged, transported, and functionally delivered remains a key challenge in advancing EV-based diagnostics and therapeutics.
