Description
Nina Hessvik and Alicia Llorente reviewed exosome formation and release in 2017. Exosomes are tiny membrane bubbles that cells shed into their surroundings. They form inside a cell compartment and escape when that compartment fuses with the cell surface.
Once dismissed as cell waste, exosomes are now known to carry proteins and RNA between cells. The review gathers what is known about the machinery that builds them and controls their release. It also notes the many open questions about how cargo is chosen. For readers new to the field, it gives a clear map of a fast-moving area.
