Exosomes are small (30–100 nm) vesicles secreted by most cells and are involved in the transport of bioactive molecules between cells. Characterizing the interplay between cancer-cell exosomes and the tumor microenvironment is critical for understanding the role of exosomes in tumorigenesis and metastasis. The Scientist brings together a panel of experts to discuss the function of exosomes in cell-to-cell communication during tumor progression and metastasis. Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with the experts, ask questions and seek advice on topics that are related to their research.
