EVs were isolated using the unified NTF\u2011EV\u2011Biobank workflow, exchanged between centers, and analyzed for protein markers, particle size and concentration (NTA), total protein content, and morphology (TEM) to compare EV quality across sites.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Implementation of the EV biobank protocol across participating centers, as well as inter-center transport on dry ice, was successfully performed without complications.
