Table 1 Clinical features of patients recruited and the phenotype characterization of the xenografts obtained with cancer patients’ serum-treated cells

From: Exosomes isolated from cancer patients’ sera transfer malignant traits and confer the same phenotype of primary tumors to oncosuppressor-mutated cells
