Fig. 1From: Extracellular vesicles-mediated intercellular communication: roles in the tumor microenvironment and anti-cancer drug resistanceRole of the extracellular vesicles-mediated intercommunication in tumor development and progression. Tumor and stromal cells release extracellular vesicles as a mean of communication contributing to the complexity and heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment. Extracellular vesicles-mediated transport of bioactive materials can induce a tumor microenvironment favorable for tumor growth and resistance to anti-cancer drugsBack to article page
