Concepts in Stem Cell Research

Extracellular Vesicles Role in Diseases, Pathogenesis and Therapy

This volume is a valuable resource for basic biologists, translational scientists, and clinicians.The chapters emphasize the emerging data confirming the role of EVs in the pathogenesis of diseases and discuss the scientific advances that have made it feasible to characterize and engineer EVs, leading to their use as tools in biomarker discovery and disease diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic application, and theranostics.
