“…Additionally, sEV size also increased significantly, with a maximum diameter at 72 hpf. Since most organs are formed during the first 72 hpf and from then on mainly maturation and growth occur, the elevated number and larger size before 72 hpf suggests an important role of EVs during zebrafish organogenesis. …”
