Functional role of extracellular vesicles
EV Research: benefits for EV uptake
1) No benefit EVs are taken up by the unspecific process of endocytosis 2) Signaling EVs contain hormones, growth factors, RNA and DNA 3) Acquiring (new) enzyme activity EVs contain enzymes that can generate valuable metabolites 4) Acquiring food (energy and metabolites) EVs contain essential metabolites, some with energy signaling substrate product ATP, amino acids vitamins, etc.
