Description

The study shows significant variability in neuronal protein cargo within L1CAM-positive EVs, but doesn’t explain what drives this heterogeneity. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for interpreting biomarker levels and could reveal distinct neuronal EV subtypes with different functional roles.
