Regulation of exosome release from mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells - a new regulatory pathway

Andrew Riches, Elaine Campbell, Eva Borger, Simon Powis

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Exosomes are small 50-100nm sized extracellular vesicles released from normal and tumour cells and are a source of a new intercellular communication pathway. Tumour exosomes promote tumour growth and progression. What regulates the release and homoeostatic levels of exosomes, in cancer, in body fluids remains undefined.
