Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles released by cells, which contain proteins and miRNA. It is a new research field in recent years. EVs change accordingly in a variety of diseases. These vesicles can sensitively reflect the pathological changes of the body. Compared with tissue biopsy, EVs detection have the advantages of non-invasive, simple sampling and real-time monitoring. EVs are becoming new diagnostic marker. This article reviews the current status and progress of EVs in clinical application.
细胞外囊泡(EVs)是细胞释放的小囊泡,其中含有蛋白质和微小核糖核酸(miRNA)。这是近年来一个新的研究领域。在多种疾病中,EVs会相应地发生变化。这些囊泡能够灵敏地反映机体的病理变化。与组织活检相比,检测EVs具有非侵入性、采样简单和实时监测等优点。EVs正成为新的诊断标志物。本文综述了EVs在临床应用中的现状和进展。
