Abstract

Microbiology Extracellular vesicles are produced by diverse cell types, but what are they? Do they have a function, or are they cellular rubbish? In a Perspective, Ofir-Birin and Regev-Rudzki discuss the increasing evidence that extracellular vesicles are secreted by parasites to improve their chances of survival in host cells by modulating host immune responses. It is possible that parasite-derived extracellular vesicles could be manipulated to produce vaccines and/or be used in diagnostics. Science , this issue p.
