Summary
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer particles that play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transporting biomolecules, including proteins and RNA.
Among the various types of EVs, exosomes have received considerable attention in scientific research due to their potential therapeutic applications.
Understanding the role of phospholipid asymmetry in these vesicles could provide insights into their surface charge and enhance their therapeutic capabilities.
