Abstract
Communication between neurons and glia significantly influences the development maturation, plasticity, and disease progressions of the nervous system. As a new signaling modality, extracellular vesicles display a diverse role for robust functional regulation of neurons through their protein and nucleic acid cargoes. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the research of signaling mechanisms between glia and neurons mediated by extracellular vesicles that are important for neural development, axonal maintenance, synaptic functions, and disease progression in the mammalian nervous system. We will discuss the biological roles of extracellular vesicles released from neurons, astroglia, microglia, and oligodendroglia in the nervous system and their implications in neurodegenerative disorders.
