Abstract
Riazanski et al describe a platform to capture extracellular vesicles (EVs) using a nanoporous silicon nitride membrane, investigate the expression of NHE1 protein on the surface of EVs and monitor the transport of Na+ and H+ at the single EV level. The authors report a mechanistic function of the proteins found in EVs and specifically identify NHE1 on a single EV, where it maintains pH neutrality within single vesicles.
