Classification of Extracellular vesicles. (A); Exosomes are spherical nanosized biovesicles that are released via exocytosis as a result of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) fusion with the cellular membrane. (B); Microvesicles are 100–1,000 nm spherical vesicles secreted from the outward budding and shedding of the plasma membrane. (C); Apoptic bodies, ranging from 100 to 5,000 nm, may come in a diverse range of sizes and are produced upon the outward blebbing of the plasma membrane of dying and apoptic cells.
