How do extracellular vesicles (EVs) and exosomes shape embryo implantation?
Embryo implantation is a tightly timed “conversation†between embryo and endometrium; one that has to coordinate adhesion, immune tolerance, tissue remodelling, and blood-vessel changes within a narrow window of implantation. A major set of “words†in that conversation are extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes; nano-sized packages released by cells that carry proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like miRNAs) to influence recipient cells.
