MeSH definition : Endosomes containing intraluminal vesicles which are formed by the inward budding
of the endosome membrane. Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) may fuse with other organelles
such as LYSOSOMES or fuse back with the PLASMA MEMBRANE releasing their contents by
EXOCYTOSIS. The MVB intraluminal vesicles released into the extracellular environment
are known as EXOSOMES.;
