Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by all cells are key players in information transfer within a tissue or organism. With their highly cell-specific protein and RNA content, EVs can propagate cellular signals and modulate distant cells' behavior. Dermal fibroblasts are supportive cells for all skin cells and the roles of their EVs start to come to light only recently. In this chapter, we describe a protocol to isolate small EVs from primary human fibroblast culture using classical differential centrifugation methodology.

Keywords: Dermal fibroblasts; Exosomes; Extracellular vesicles; Microvesicles; Ultracentrifugation.
