Abstract

There is growing interest surrounding the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of exosomes, but a definitive description of these extracellular vesicles remains elusive. In this issue, Jeppesen et al. characterize exosomes following a strict isolation protocol and in so doing challenge several of the accepted properties of these agents of intercellular communication.
