Exosome Cell-Cell Communication Diagram
Exosome-mediated communication end to end: cargo loading in a donor cell, vesicle release and transport, then uptake and functional effect in a recipient cell.
Updated 2026-09-24
An exosome cell-cell communication diagram: a donor cell loads protein and RNA cargo into multivesicular bodies, exosomes are released, travel through extracellular space, and are taken up by a recipient cell where the cargo changes macrophage polarization. Label the MVB, exosomes, cargo and the recipient cell effect.
What is this template?
Exosome diagrams connect biogenesis (MVB formation and cargo loading) with intercellular transport and recipient-cell effects. They are standard in EV papers spanning cancer, immunology and neuroscience.
Where it fits
- Extracellular-vesicle manuscript figures
- Cancer-communication review panels
- Biomarker study introductions
- Drug-delivery concept slides
How to make it yours
Open the template in the studio
Generate the donor-to-recipient chain, then check the cargo and effect labels.
Recast the cells
Say "make the donor a tumor cell and the recipient a T cell" to match your axis.
Change the cargo
Ask for your cargo — miR-21, PD-L1, a protein complex — and the specific recipient effect you claim.
Frequently asked questions
Can it show multiple recipient cells?
Yes — ask to fan the exosomes out to two or three recipients with different effects, but keep the donor side simple so the panel stays readable.
