The mechanism of exosome secretion. Exosomes are formed through inward budding of the cell membrane, resulting in the formation of endosomes. These endosomes are then produced through the MVE pathway and subsequently fuse with the cell membrane, leading to exocytosis. The term ‘exosome’ is used to describe these vesicles as they are released into the extracellular environment. (Created with BioRender.com).
