vesicles (EVs) are gaining recognition for their essential role in enhancing gamete quality and improving outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies. These nanosized particles, released by cells, carry proteins, lipids, and RNAs, facilitating critical cell communication and offering the potential to enhance gamete maturation and improve fertilization rates. Most research on males has concentrated on seminal plasma, a complex fluid produced by the testes and accessory glands vital in modulating sperm fertility potential. The components of seminal plasma significantly affect sperm functionality, embryo survival, and placental development, making this a prominent area of interest in reproductive biology. The EVs within seminal plasma contribute to maintaining sperm membrane stability, enhancing motility, and promoting capacitation, which may influence the female reproductive tract following mating. In females, EVs have been identified in both the follicular and uterine environments, where effective embryo\u2013maternal communication is crucial. The oviduct epithelium supports gamete transport and early embryonic development, with EVs found in oviductal fluid playing a key role in reproductive processes. These EVs support the embryo\u2019s growth in the nutrient-rich uterine environment. These important studies underscore the significant role of EVs in transporting essential molecular compounds to gametes and embryos, leading to an enhanced understanding and potential manipulation of reproductive processes. This review aims to summarize the current research on the benefits of EVs in gamete manipulation and embryo development, highlighting their promising implications for reproductive health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology14020198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,14]],"date-time":"2025-02-14T03:20:52Z","timestamp":1739503252000},"page":"198","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Unlocking Gamete Quality Through Extracellular Vesicles: Emerging Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3644-6576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Notsile H.","family":"Dlamini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences, Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS 39759, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9486-0121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandra","family":"Bridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the West of Santa Catarina, Xanxer\u00ea 89820-000, SC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4796-6393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliano Coelho","family":"da Silveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Pirassununga 13635-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1376-5059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean M.","family":"Feugang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences, Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS 39759, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"195","article-title":"Semen handling in porcine AI centers: The Belgian situation","volume":"76","author":"Vyt","year":"2007","journal-title":"Vlaams Diergeneeskd.
