    A community compendium for extracellular vesicles and particles


Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by various cell types into the extracellular space and are known to play a crucial role in intercellular communication. Subtypes of EVs include exosomes, ectosomes/microvesicles, migrasomes, apoptotic bodies, exophers and large oncosomes. In addition to EVs, cells also secrete EV-like nanoparticles including exomeres and supermeres. With the ignited interest on EVs and particles due to their critical role in cellular homeostasis, pathogenesis, drug, vaccine and gene-vector delivery and as possible reservoirs of biomarkers, the amount of data generated has increased exponentially. Vesiclepedia is a manually curated compendium of molecular data (lipids, metabolites, nucleic acids and proteins) identified in different classes of EVs and EV-like nanoparticles.
