Potential clinical applications of fungal EVs. The membranous structure of fungal EVs allows them to carry various bioactive components, providing fungal EVs great potential for clinical applications. Suitable fungal EVs markers may be useful for fungal infection diagnosis [145] and new EVs isolation strategy [59]. Antigens and immunogenic proteins presented in fungal EVs are able to activate immune response in the host, providing the possibility of fungal EVs in vaccine development and immunotherapy application [54]
