sEVs isolated from CRC biopsies modulate the expression of mesenchymal and epithelial markers in hepatocytes. a Representative TEM micrograph of sEVs isolated from CRC biopsy (CRC/B1 in Table 2). Scale bars: 1 µm and 100 nm. b Confocal microscopy analysis of Vimentin (red) and CK8/18 (green) in hepatocytes treated with sEVs isolated from a CRC biopsy (CRC/B2 in Table 2; CRC/B2_sEVs) and from the corresponding non-CRC mucosa (NCRC/B2 in Table 2; NCRC/B2_sEVs) for 24 h; nuclei are in blue. Untreated cells are indicated as control (Ctrl)
