Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized bilayer vesicles that are shed or secreted by virtually every cell type. A variety of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, coding and non-coding RNAs, and mitochondrial DNA, can be selectively encapsulated into EVs and delivered to nearby and distant recipient cells, leading to alterations in the recipient cells, suggesting that EVs play an important role in intercellular communication. EVs play effective roles in physiology and pathology and could be used as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. At present, although the mechanisms of exosome biogenesis and secretion in donor cells are well understood, the molecular mechanism of EV recognition and uptake by recipient cells is still unclear. This review summarizes the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of EVs’ biological journey in recipient cells, from recognition to uptake and cargo release. Furthermore, we highlight how EVs escape endolysosomal degradation after uptake and thus release cargo, which is crucial for studies applying EVs as drug-targeted delivery vehicles. Knowledge of the cellular processes that govern EV uptake is important to shed light on the functions of EVs as well as on related clinical applications.
