“…In appearance, exosomes are unilamellar vesicles composed of a lipid bilayer that have a homogenous cup-shaped appearance on scanning electromicroscopy [3,12]. To date, they can be shown to originate from almost every cell type studied, including, but not limited to, T cells [13], B cells [14,15], dendritic cells [16], neurons [17], astrocytes [18,19], endothelial cells [20], smooth muscle cells [21], oligodendrocytes [22], and reticulocytes [2,23]. The wide variety of cells that can excrete exosomes also dictates the wide array of materials in which they can be isolated: saliva, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchial alveolar lavage, and serum [24].…”
