Abstract
Extracellular vesicles have emerged as key players in cellular communication, influencing various physiological processes and pathophysiological progression, including digestion, immune response, and tissue repairs. Recently, a class of EVs derived from microbial communities has gained significant attention due to their pivotal role in intercellular communication and their potential as biomarkers and biotherapeutic agents. Microbial EVs are membrane-bound molecules encapsulating bioactive metabolites that modulate host physiological and pathological processes. This chapter discusses the evolving history of microbiota-produced EVs, including their discovery, characterization, current research status, and their diverse mechanisms of interaction with other microbes and hosts. This review also highlights the importance of EVs in health and disease and discusses recent research that shows promising results for the therapeutic potential of EVs.
期刊介绍：
Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation is an up-to-date book series that presents and explores selected questions of cell and developmental biology. Each volume focuses on a single, well-defined topic. Reviews address basic questions and phenomena, but also provide concise information on the most recent advances. Together, the volumes provide a valuable overview of this exciting and dynamically expanding field.
