COMMENT | A brief guide to studying extracellular vesicle function in the context of metabolism

C Crewe et al
A brief guide to studying extracellular vesicle function in the context of metabolism - Nature Metabolism
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are now recognized as powerful modulators of metabolism, and thus the new field of EV-mediated metabolic regulation is growing exponentially. Here, we discuss special experimental considerations for the study of EV function in metabolism.

The Peach Tree(Prunus persica) is a deciduous fruit tree in the Rosaceae family, native to northwest China. It has a lifespan of 20–30 yrs, though commercial orchards typically use trees for 12–15 yrs. It is self-fertile and requires a temperate climate with mild winters and dry summers
