In cataractous older age group subjects, different blood constituents have the mean concentrations and standard deviations within normal limits but, of course, differing significantly from the corresponding means in the control population. Various morphological types of senile cataract have different risk factors. The mechanisms underlying the associations between different blood constituents with different patterns of lens opacification remain to be elucidated.

In recent years, with an increasingly profound comprehension of the tumor microenvironment, it has been discovered that the constituent cells within the immune microenvironment, such as macrophages, CD4T cells, and CD8T cells, interact with tumor cells in manners conducive to tumorigenesis and progression. Exosomes play a pivotal role as essential mediators for intercellular material exchange and signal transmission in this context. Tumor cell-derived exosomes carrying cargo such as PD-L1 and ncRNAs engage with CD8T cells to induce cytotoxic responses and facilitate immune evasion, thereby promoting tumor advancement.
