Open AccessConfirmation of plant-derived exosomes as bioactive substances for skin application through comparative analysis of keratinocyte transcriptome
Plant exosomes are nanosized (30–150 nm) membrane vesicles that contain biomolecules and influence the development of a plant and protect the plant from pathogens. Recently, plant exosomes are in the spotlight...
