Key Findings
- Researchers at Yeditepe University studied extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Stevia rebaudiana and Vaccaria hispanica
- These plant cell suspension-derived EVs (PCSEVs) are spherical and less than 200 nm in size
- Stevia-derived EVs mainly contain proteins involved in extracellular structures, while Vaccaria-derived EVs have more cytosolic proteins
