Exosomes maintain cellular homeostasis by excreting harmful DNA from cells

The role of exosomes in intercellular communication is well established, however less in known about the biological roles of exosome secretion in exosome-secreting cells. Here the authors show that exosome secretion controls cellular homeostasis in exosome-secreting cells by removing harmful cytopla...

description The role of exosomes in intercellular communication is well established, however less in known about the biological roles of exosome secretion in exosome-secreting cells. Here the authors show that exosome secretion controls cellular homeostasis in exosome-secreting cells by removing harmful cytoplasmic DNA from cells.
