Sometimes cells take their cues from the outside world. Sometimes, it's through exosomes that cells send and receive messages to other cells. Learn more in this article about the role of exosomes in cell communication!

How do cells store information?
Cells can read and transmit messages through exosomes, small vesicles that are released from cells. These vesicles can carry information between cells, and allow cells to communicate with one another. Exosomes also play a role in cell communication and mobility.
What is an exosome?
The main function of exosomes is to transport proteins and other materials between different types of cells. This is especially important in the brain, where communication between different parts of the brain is essential for normal function. Exosomes also play an important role in immune system function by transporting cytokines and other molecules between different cells.
Exosomes in diseases and what they do
The researchers found that exosomes play a critical role in the progression of these diseases by facilitating the transfer of genetic material between cells. This genetic material can help to cause the disease to progress more quickly. The researchers also found that exosomes play a role in the development of tumors. By helping to transfer tumor-causing genes between cells, exosomes can contribute to the growth of tumors.
Conclusion
Cells use proteins called mRNA to translate a message from the nucleus into a protein. The mRNA is transported outside of the cell and delivered to special proteases, which then cut it into small pieces. These pieces are then taken up by vesicles and delivered back inside the cell where they will be used to produce new proteins. This process is known as exosome biogenesis, and it's one way that cells communicate with each other.
