They can be divided into three types: exosomes, the smallest vesicles that are released from inside the cell and follow the endosomal pathway; microvesicles, which are always released from inside the cell, but are produced using the cell membrane itself which incorporates the load to be transported and “buds” outwards; and apoptotic bodies, characteristic of dying cells. The latter are less studied in the application field, which is why they are not discussed in this analysis. Exosomes and microvesicles are very different from each other but have common characteristics in terms of size and content: both transport RNA, proteins and lipids, underlining their involvement in the regulation, through different molecular mechanisms, of various biological functions.
