Embryonic–maternal cross-talk via exosomes: potential implications

Figures & data

Figure 1 Embryo-derived exosomes as seen by transmission electron microscope.

Notes: TEM images show the presence of particles, ranging from less than 100 nm (A) to 30 nm (B), in an embryo-conditioned medium pellet isolated by differential centrifugation, after negative staining with uranyl acetate (more detailed methods for exosomes isolation are described in our previous report).¹⁴ A sketch showing the paracrine intercellular communication between embryos and endometrium, through the exosomes (C).
Abbreviations: mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; TEM, transmission electron microscope.
