Abstract
Exosomes are small (30-100 nm) membrane vesicles secreted by various cell types, they mediate cell-to-cell communication by transferring mRNAs, miRNAs, and proteins. As a hotspot in the research of oncology, exosomes have potential values in the research of development, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
