Exosomes in tumor angiogenesis are gaining attention as critical players in cancer progression and metastasis. These small extracellular vesicles, secreted by tumor cells, carry a variety of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which can influence the tumor microenvironment. In the context of tumor angiogenesis, exosomes facilitate the communication between cancer cells and endothelial cells, promoting new blood vessel formation that supplies nutrients and oxygen to the tumor. Understanding the role of exosomes in tumor angiogenesis can reveal novel therapeutic targets and strategies to disrupt the vascular support of tumors. By inhibiting exosome-mediated signaling pathways, researchers aim to impair angiogenesis, thereby restricting tumor growth and improving cancer treatment outcomes. |
