Abstract:
Extracellular vesicles(EVs)are membrane-bound vesicles released by cells into the extracellular environment and can selec-tively enrich specific proteins and RNA and mediate intercellular communication. Therefore,EVs have the potential of a biomarker for disea-ses,a therapeutic target,and a delivery vector. This article reviews the research advances in the role of EVs in viral hepatitis,liver fibrosis, and liver cancer and emphasizes the prospects of EVs in liver diseases.
