Diagram outlining inter-cellular communications of exosomes within the neurogenic niche. Panel A shows that the multivesicular body (MVB) fuses with the cell membrane (arrow) to release exosomes into the extracellular milieu. Exosomes contain genetic materials, proteins and lipids. Panel B shows the presence of exosomes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the ventricular-subventricular zone (V/SVZ) neurogenic niche. E, ependymal cells; NS, neural stem cells; NP, neural progenitor cells; NB, neuroblasts; As, astrocytes.
