Schematic representation of the production mode of the different types of EVs. (A) Microvesicles are produced by direct budding at the plasma membrane. (B) Exosomes are released by exocytosis of a multivesicular body itself formed by the inward budding of a late endosome. (C) Apoptotic bodies are fragments of dying cells. Schemes are not to scale.
