Cargo and size differences between different types of EVs [3,14,15].

Type of EV Size of the Nanoparticle Typical Cargo
Exosomes 30–120 nm mRNA, non-coding RNA (including miRNA), cytoplasmic and membrane proteins
Microvesicles 50–1000 nm mRNA, non-coding RNA (including miRNA), cytoplasmic and membrane proteins
Apoptotic bodies 500–2000 nm Nuclear fractions, cell organelles
