Extracellular vesicles in dermatology: updates and prospects / 中华皮肤科杂志

ABSTRACT

Extracellular vesicles are nanoscale vesicles secreted by cells, including exosomes and microvesicles. They can be ingested by recipient cells through a variety of mechanisms, transmitting intercellular information and regulating biological functions of recipient cells. Studies have found that extracellular vesicles are closely related to skin diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, pigmented diseases, tumors and wound healing, and play important biological roles in various physiological and pathological processes. This review summarizes updates on extracellular vesicles in dermatology.
