Major populations of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from cells. Apoptotic bodies are produce during apoptosis and can contain fragmented DNA, RNA, nuclear, or organelle materials. Exosomes and microvesicles are released by live cells. EVs can target recipient cells either through receptor binding/activation (signaling), direct membrane fusion, endocytosis/pinocytosis, or internalization
