In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in understanding the complexities of brain development and the underlying mechanisms that govern it. This interest has been fueled by the potential of this knowledge to improve human performance, ameliorate neurological disorders, and enhance our understanding of the human mind.
Extracellular Vesicles and Cell Type-Specific Extracellular Vesicles
One of the most promising areas of research in this field is the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are a diverse group of particles that are taken up by cells to affect a variety of signaling cascades. Recently, cell type-specific extracellular vesicles (CTS-EVs) have garnered attention for their unique biogenesis and molecular composition, as they enable highly targeted cell-specific communication that affects a variety of physiological functions.
