Composition of extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are lipid-bound vesicles secreted by most cells into the extracellular space. They consist of lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, which are specifically associated with the plasma membrane, cytosol, and those related to lipid metabolism of the parent cell. The cargo of EVs can be transferred to target cells and induce biological effects that alter cell behavior
