ournal of Extracellular Vesicles is the official journal of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles. It provides a much-needed forum for the exchange of data, ideas and information from all areas pertaining to the chemistry, biology and/or applications of extracellular vesicles, including microvesicles, exosomes, ectosomes, apoptotic bodies and other extracellular vesicles. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Cellular and molecular mechanisms relating to the production of extracellular vesicles
• Cellular mechanisms including membrane traffic, protein sorting related to vesicle releases
• Utilization of extracellular vesicles as biomarkers
• Technological advances in isolation, quantification and characterization of the vesicles
• Extracellular vesicles and diseases
• Role of extracellular vesicles in biology
• Signal transduction, uptake and propagation of extracellular vesicles
• Structural biology of extracellular vesicles
• Stem cell biology and extracellular vesicles
• Informational databases as resources, including large sets of data on genomics, lipidomics, proteomics, high-throughput screening data, and beyond
• Utilization of extracellular vesicles for pharmacological, immunological or genetic therapies
  
  

Types of articles
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles welcomes Original research papers, Review articles, Short communications, Technical notes, Hypotheses, Position papers, Editorials, and Letters to the Editor. Supplementary material in the form of large datasets, protocols, videos etc. is encouraged.

All papers are published online immediately after they have been accepted and proofs finalized. Thematic clusters of articles (special issues) and Supplements are published occasionally and are collated into online collections published at one and the same time. Abstracts from The Society’s annual meetings are also published in the journal.
