Fig.1 Schematic diagram of exosome biogenesis (by Figdraw) Exosomes are small membrane vesicles. They are formed as intraluminal vesicles by inward budding of the cell membrane into early endosomes, subsequently undergo migration and sorting to produce multivesicular body (MVB) and form intraluminal vesicles (ILVs). Upon fusion of thus arising MVB with the plasma membrane, these vesicles are released as exosomes
