Upconversion nanoscopy revealing surface heterogeneity of tumor-secreted extracellular vesicles

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2023
Super-resolution microscopic imaging employing upconversion nanoparticles is applied to reveal the surface heterogeneity of tumor cell-derived small extracellular vesicles, i.e., exosome. The number of surface antigens of every extracellular vesicles can
