Bacterial extracellular vesicles in biofluids as potential diagnostic biomarkers.
Expert Rev Mol Diagn
December 2022
Article Synopsis
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny membrane-bound sacs released by cells, with bacterial EVs (BEVs) being of particular interest due to their potential as diagnostic markers linked to diseases due to the human microbiota.
- Studies show that differences in BEV composition between patients and healthy individuals could aid in disease detection, emphasizing their role as potential biomarkers.
- Despite the promising outlook for BEVs in diagnostics, challenges remain in the research that need to be addressed for their clinical application.
