Biogenesis and molecular composition of exosomes. Schematic diagram shows exosome formation and biological cargoes. Exosomes originate in endosome system, and are released from cells as particles (30–150 nm) with a lipid bilayer. They are endowed with therapeutic potential by carrying various kinds of bioactive molecules, such as peptides, microRNAs, and mRNAs.
