During the last decades growing attention has been given to extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by the cells as new specialized structures for intercellular communication without direct cell contact. EVs are small membrane vesicles, commonly distinguished in microvesicles (MVs) (100-1000nm in diameter) and exosomes (EXOs) (40-100nm in diameter), which differ in size, content and mechanism of formation [1]. They are involved in different biological processes, including neuroinflammation.
