Harnessing the power of exosomes for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of hematological malignancies by Amirata Mohseni, Fatemeh Salehi, Samaneh Rostami, Kaveh Hadiloo, Mehrdad Hashemi, Zahra Baridjavadi, Fatemeh Ahangari, Najibeh Karami, Fatemeh Samani, Safa Tahmasebi, Najma Farahani, Afshin Taheriazam

“…For instance, exosome contents have been utilized as biomarkers in body fluids (urine, saliva, serum) to identify cancers, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions such as sepsis. Due to their small size and ability to reach tumor microenvironments, exosomes are also used as carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs in drug delivery systems. …”
