Recent advances have unraveled the complexity of molecular signals that allow the communication between different reproductive cell types for maintaining normal reproductive functions. This kind of communication is controlled by a myriad of factors acting through autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling pathways (1). In the last decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as playing a significant role in regulating and facilitating this dialogue. EVs, including exosomes and microvesicles, are membrane-enveloped particles secreted by living cells to the surrounding microenvironment and body fluids, and contain proteins, messenger RNA (mRNA), and microRNAcargoes. In different mammalian species, EVs have been detected in all reproductive biofluids with emerging evidence on their roles in gametogenesis, fertilization, early embryo development, and implantation
