Exosomes
Vesicles secreted from multivesicular bodies into the extracellular environment when the multivesicular bodies fuse with the plasma membrane. Multivesicular bodies are formed from endosomes when they accumulate vesicles (sometimes referred to as "intraluminal vesicles") from inward budding of the endosome membrane.
