👉 Tumor-light particles, often referred to as exosomes or microvesicles containing light-emitting molecules, are small vesicles released by various cells, including cancer cells. These particles can carry a variety of biological signals, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, but in the context of tumors, they are particularly noted for their ability to emit light. This luminescence is typically due to the presence of specific fluorescent proteins or other light-emitting compounds within the exosomes. The light emitted by tumor-light particles can be used for non-invasive imaging techniques, allowing researchers and clinicians to visualize and track tumor growth, metastasis, and response to therapy in real-time. This property makes them valuable tools in cancer research and diagnostics, offering a promising avenue for early detection and personalized treatment strategies.
