SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the presence of organelle parts circulating in blood, specifically exosomes, which function as cellular messengers. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that play a crucial role in intercellular communication and are derived from the endosomal system of cells. The conversation highlights the significance of exosomes in renal function and their emerging importance in various biological processes.
