| Comments | Exosomes are a discrete population of small (40–100 nm diameter) membranous vesicles that are released into the extracellular space from multivesicular bodies (MVBs) by most cell types. For diameter of 30 to 100 nm see Keller et al., 2006 PMID 17067686 p.104 left column bottom paragraph |
