| INTRODUCTION
Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, with leukemia and cervical cancer ranking among the prevalent and life-threatening malignancies worldwide.Leukemia, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of blood cells, encompasses a spectrum of hematological malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).On the other hand, cervical cancer, primarily caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, affects the uterine cervix and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, particularly in developing countries. 1,2Early detection of cancer is paramount for successful treatment and improved patient outcomes.Early-stage diagnosis can significantly enhance the chances of curative therapy, reduce treatment-related morbidity, and ultimately save lives.In this context, the emerging field of exosome-based diagnostics is poised to revolutionize cancer screening and monitoring.Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles ranging from 30 to 150 nm in size, play pivotal roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as potential reservoirs of biomarkers for various diseases, including cancer. 3,4ese vesicles are secreted by virtually all cell types and transport a cargo rich in proteins, nucleic acids (including microRNAs and DNA), lipids, and metabolites.Importantly, exosomes can be isolated from various body fluids, such as blood, urine, saliva, and cerebrospinal fluid, making them accessible sources of information about the health status of an individual. 5,6Furthermore, advancements in nanotechnology and microfluidic devices have led to the development of exosome-based chipsets.These chipsets are designed to capture, isolate, and analyse exosomes with remarkable sensitivity and specificity, offering the potential for early cancer detection, disease monitoring, and personalized treatment strategies. 7,8This manuscript aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of exosomes in the early detection of leukemia and HPV-mediated cervical cancer, emphasizing the potential of exosome-based chipsets in improving diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.We will explore the biology of exosomes, their role as biomarkers, recent advances in exosome-based chip technology, challenges in the field, and future directions for research and clinical application.

| EXOSOME BIOGENESIS AND CELLULAR COMMUNICATION
Exosomes are a subset of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that have garnered considerable attention in recent years due to their critical roles in intercellular communication and their potential as carriers of biomolecules indicative of various diseases, including cancer.These small vesicles, typically ranging from 30 to 150 nm in diameter, are secreted by a variety of cell types into the extracellular space and biological fluids, such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. 3,4Exosomes originate from the endosomal pathway within cells.The biogenesis of exosomes involves a series of intricate steps.Initially, early endosomes form as a result of endocytic uptake of extracellular material.These early endosomes then mature into late endosomes, also known as multivesicular bodies (MVBs).The critical event in exosome formation occurs within MVBs, where intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) bud inward, encapsulating cytoplasmic components, including proteins, nucleic acids (such as RNA and DNA), lipids, and metabolites.Eventually, MVBs fuse with the cell membrane, releasing ILVs into the extracellular space as exosomes. 4osomes serve as messengers between cells, facilitating communication over short and long distances.They transport a cargo rich in various bioactive molecules, making them key players in cell-to-cell signaling. 6The cargo of exosomes can include proteins, lipids, metabolites, and nucleic acids, with microRNAs (miRNAs) being one of the most extensively studied components.miRNAs within exosomes can regulate gene expression in recipient cells by influencing mRNA stability and translation, thus affecting multiple cellular processes. 5Exosomes are implicated in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune response modulation, tissue repair, and cancer progression. 3They can be internalized by recipient cells through various mechanisms, such as endocytosis, phagocytosis, or fusion with the plasma membrane.Once internalized, exosomal cargo can exert a range of effects, modulating the behavior and function of recipient cells.Tumor cell-derived exosomes (TEXs) promote cancer development. 9,10xosomes encapsulate a wide array of biomolecules that reflect the physiological state of their parent cells.This cargo includes proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolites.Proteins found within exosomes often include tetraspanins (e.g., CD63, CD81, and CD9), heat shock proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. 4Additionally, exosomal lipids, particularly cholesterol and sphingolipids, contribute to membrane stability and cargo sorting.
Nucleic acids in exosomes are of particular interest due to their potential as biomarkers.These include mRNA, miRNA, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and even small fragments of genomic DNA. 11ese exosomal nucleic acids can reflect the genetic and epigenetic alterations occurring in the parent cells, making them valuable for disease diagnosis and monitoring. 5

| EXOSOMES A SOURCE OF LEUKEMIA BIOMARKERS
The unique composition and stability of exosomes make them promising candidates as biomarkers for various diseases, including cancer.The ability to isolate exosomes from readily accessible body fluids allows for minimally invasive and repeated sampling, enhancing their utility in diagnostics. 6The cargo of exosomes, including specific proteins and nucleic acids, can provide valuable insights into the presence and progression of diseases, making them attractive targets for biomarker discovery and validation.In nutshell, exosomes represent a dynamic and multifaceted facet of intercellular communication, serving as carriers of a diverse cargo that mirrors the physiological state of their parent cells.Understanding the biology and functions of exosomes is crucial for appreciating their role as potential biomarkers and for exploring their application in early cancer detection and disease monitoring.Leukemia, a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies, presents a complex challenge for early detection and diagnosis.Identifying reliable biomarkers for Leukemia has been a focal point of research, and exosomes have emerged as promising candidates due to their role in intercellular communication and their potential to carry disease-specific cargo.
Exosomes derived from Leukemia cells have been the subject of extensive investigation as potential biomarkers.These nanoscale vesicles have been found to carry Leukemia-specific cargo that can serve as diagnostic markers.For instance, studies have revealed the presence of fusion transcripts, such as PML-RARA in acute promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), within exosomes derived from Leukemia cells. 12These fusion transcripts are hallmark genetic alterations in APL, making them valuable diagnostic targets.
Exosomes derived from Leukemia cells often carry proteins that are characteristic of the disease.For instance, certain surface markers like CD25 and CD123, which are overexpressed in Leukemia, have been detected on exosomes derived from Leukemia cells. 13These proteins have potential as diagnostic targets due to their specific association with Leukemia.Exosomal RNA, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), has gained prominence in Leukemia diagnostics.MiRNAs encapsulated in exosomes can serve as informative biomarkers reflecting the genetic and epigenetic alterations occurring in leukemia cells, for example, miR-150 and miR-155 have been identified in exosomes from leukemia patients and are associated with disease progression and prognosis. 12,13The dysregulation of these exosomal miRNAs offers valuable insights into Leukemia pathogenesis.Despite the potential of exosomes as leukemia biomarkers, several challenges need to be addressed.One significant challenge is the low concentration of Leukemia-derived exosomes in peripheral blood, demanding highly sensitive detection methods. 12Additionally, the heterogeneity of Leukemia subtypes poses a challenge since each subtype may exhibit distinct exosomal cargo.Therefore, there is a need to develop Leukemia-specific exosome isolation and characterization methods.Exosome-based chipsets represent a promising solution to the challenges associated with leukemia detection.These cutting-edge platforms are designed to capture and analyse exosomes with high sensitivity and specificity.For instance, microfluidic devices integrated with specific antibodies or aptamers have been developed to selectively isolate leukemia-derived exosomes from patient samples. 12This technology not only enhances the detection of leukemia-specific exosomes but also enables real-time monitoring.
