Extracellular fine particles including exogenous fine particle such as PM2.5 and endogenous fine particles such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes, have generated significant attention due to their ability to induce crucial biological responses. For instance, EVs serve as mediators of intercellular communication. However, due to the heterogeneity of extracellular fine particles and the difficulty of separation, the molecular mechanisms underlying biological responses to these particles and their dynamics have been very controversial. To elucidate these mechanisms, it is imperative to characterize individual extracellular fine particles in living cells by microscopy. This symposium aims to focus on studies that uncover the behavior of extracellular fine particles by cutting-edge imaging techniques such as single-molecule/super-resolution imaging, lattice-light sheet microscopy, and scanning electron-assisted dielectric microscopy.
