- Cells communicate with each other by releasing tiny cells known as extracellular vesicles (EVs)
- EVs carry various proteins and genetic material that may promote disease or health, depending on their contents
- EVs are found in blood, urine, and other bodily fluids, but it’s unknown where they originate, how they’re made, or how their “cargo of molecules” is released; in other words, EVs remain much of a mystery
