[In vivo imaging: An essential tool to better understand the biology of extracellular vesicles]

Extracellular vesicles are involved in an increasing number of physiopathological processes and represent promising clinical tools for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Their small size has long hindered in situ studies, which has limited their in vivo characterization and clinical use. Imaging approaches now allow the monitoring of extracellular vesicles in different animal models, in real time and at the single vesicle scale. The zebrafish appears in particular to be a relevant model organism to explore the biology of extracellular vesicles in vivo and to evaluate their therapeutic potential in preclinical studies.
