Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are listed among the cell-cell communication strategies. Interestingly, since released from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, EVs have recently been identified as potential mediators of cross-kingdom interaction. Nevertheless, the understanding and full dissection of the variety of messages that these systems can transmit is still nascent. Although copious data has been collected on the nature of the biomolecules constituting EVs or carried within them, it remains to be defined how each of these may interact with the target cell and influence its phenotype.
In this Special Issue, we are seeking original research articles or literature reviews to highlight recent efforts in defining the macromolecules carried inside or on the surface of EVs and how these correlate with the biological effects on receiving cells.

Accepted papers will be published in the journal (as soon as accepted) and meanwhile listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, reviews as well as short communications are preferred. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office to announce on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts will be thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. Please visit the Instruction for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.
