{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: EVs move messes, not messages, at the synapse. {Author}: Bostelman MN;Broihier HT; {Journal}: J Cell Biol {Volume}: 223 {Issue}: 9 {Year}: 2024 Sep 2 {Factor}: 8.077 {DOI}: 10.1083/jcb.202408028 {Abstract}: Extracellular vesicles are known for intercellular signaling roles but can also serve to simply dispose of unwanted cargoes. In this issue, Bostelman and Broihier discuss new work from Rodal and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202405025) that refutes prior work by showing that extracellular vesicles at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions are not required for signaling and instead likely serve a proteostasis role.
