Muscle-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Influence Motor Neuron Regeneration Accuracy.

Journal Article Neuroscience · November 1, 2019 Extracellular vesicles are lipid bilayer-enclosed extracellular structures. Although the term extracellular vesicles is quite inclusive, it generally refers to exosomes (<200 nm), and microvesicles (~100-1000 nm). Such vesicles are resistant to degradation ...
