This paper explains the differences between exosomes and microvesicles — two related types of extracellular vesicles that cells release to communicate with each other. While both carry biological cargo, they differ in size, origin, and function inside the body.

Understanding these distinctions helps clinicians and patients appreciate why exosome-based therapies are being studied as a precise tool for regenerative medicine. This article serves as foundational reading for the broader science of cell-derived therapies.
