Research overview

Our study aims to investigate the cellular origin of EVs in ESCC, and unveil the unknown molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cell-cell communications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), secreted by most cell types, serve as a critical factor in tumorigenesis via intercellular communications.

Key findings

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is invasive cancer and the complex mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis remain unclear.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), secreted by most cell types, serve as a critical factor in tumorigenesis via intercellular communications.

Our study aims to investigate the cellular origin of EVs in ESCC, and unveil the unknown molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cell-cell communications.

Six ESCC patients were enrolled and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses were conducted to screen different cell subpopulations.
