The cells in our body have smaller cells within them. For example, our mitochondria are our cell's power plants that provide energy and without them, we cannot live. These tiny mitochondria have a cellular structure that is very similar to bacteria.
Scientists have discovered another tiny cell within our cells called Extracellular Vesicles or EVs.
Cells communicate with each other by releasing tiny cells known as extracellular vesicles (EVs).
EVs carry various proteins and genetic material that may promote disease or health, depending on their contents.
EVs are found in blood, urine, and other bodily fluids, but it’s unknown where they originate, how they’re made, or how their “cargo of molecules” is released; in other words, EVs remain much of a mystery.
