Abstract

Dietary extracellular vesicles (EVs) could potentially be absorbed by the intestinal tract of the host and exert multiple phenotypic changes. Here, the authors isolate and characterize EVs from raw and commercial bovine milk and show orally administered EVs to have a context specific role in promoting or suppressing primary tumor growth and metastasis in multiple mouse tumor models.
