Core Tip	Exosomes are tiny membrane-bound extracellular vesicles that are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential role in regulating various intracellular and extracellular signaling pathways. Exosome biogenesis has been shown to plays a role in cellular development, inflammation, immunity, hemostasis, carcinogenesis, and degeneration. Due to their unique properties, exosomes have the potential to serve as diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic vectors. This review provides a concise summary of the role of exosomes as the diagnostic and therapeutic tool in various diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract.
