Exosomal proteomics
Exosomes are biological vesicles that are secreted from biological cells in order to communicate and transfer molecular components between cells. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins in an organism. Because exosomes have been implemented in health problems such as cancer, understanding the protein composition of exosomes and their role in generating disease could prove valuable. Therefore, exosomal proteomics is being employed to discover biomarkers or new medical treatments.
