Figure 1 Exosomes biogenesis.
Exosomes fuse with the plasma membrane after being generated within multivesicular endosomes during intraluminal vesicle production and are subsequently released through exocytosis. In an alternative mechanism, lysosome fusion, the multivesicular endosome merges with a lysosome to undergo degradation rather than exosome discharge. Ectocytosis causes microvesicles to form directly from the plasma membrane.
