When exosomes talk, cells listen

Learn the talk of exosomes and communicate your findings to the world!

Exosome communication between cells is more than just idle chatter. The molecular contents of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) can provide clues to cell health, disease status and more. Learn how QIAGEN’s exosome isolation and RNA purification technologies can help advance your most challenging liquid biopsy investigations. Begin your discovery into the secrets of cell communication, cancer, aging and disease right here.

Real Time PCR
Exosomes are membrane-encapsulated particles typically ranging from 20 to 120 nm in size. They contain multiple macromolecules, including proteins, mRNA and miRNA.
