Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer particles secreted by cells that mediate intercellular communication by transporting biomolecules such as proteins and RNA. Among them, exosomes have attracted significant attention for applications in diagnostics and therapeutics, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. However, standardized criteria for evaluating their quality and functionality remain insufficient.
