Five sources of exosomal heterogeneity. The heterogeneity of the exosomes results from the combination of five factors: the cell of origin from which they are released (organ and cell type of origin); their molecular composition; their size; their number; and the functionality triggered in recipient cells. Different combinations of these five factors make exosome heterogeneity highly complex.
