The overall goal of this experimental procedure is to develop a preclinical mouse model to study the role of extracellular vesicle-mediated communication between tumor and mesenchymal stem cells. This method can help answer several key questions i

Direct injection of cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) leads to reprogramming of bone marrow supporting tumor progression; however, which cells mediate this effect is unclear. Herein, we describe a step-by-step protocol to investigate EV-mediated tumor-mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) interactions in vivo, revealing a crucial role for EV-educated MSCs in metastasis.
