Exosome synthesis and action. A cell membrane is an inward budding and formed multivesicular body (MVB). Exosomes are released after the MVB fuses with the membrane. Exosomes can carry lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids to recipient cells; they act as intercellular communicators and play crucial roles in immune response, neurodegenerative disease, osteoarthritis, and tumor progression.
