In multicellular organisms, communication between cells involves
secretion of proteins that bind to receptors on neighboring cells.
While this has been well documented, another mode of intercellular
communication has recently become the subject of increasing
interest: the release of exosomes. In cancer, tumor exosomes are
involved in various aspects of pathogenesis, including
proliferation, immunosuppression, and metastasis. Given the ability
of exosomes to export unneeded endogenous molecules from cells,
these structures hold great potential as anticancer therapeutic
agents. They are also being studied as prognostic markers for
cancer.

NewInternetdevelopmentsposegreaterandgreaterprivacydilemmas. Inthe-
formation Society, the need for individuals to protect their
autonomy and retain control over their personal information is
becoming more and more important. Today,
informationandcommunicationtechnologies-andthepeopleresponsible for
making decisions about them, designing, and implementing
them-scarcely consider those requirements, thereby potentially
putting individuals' privacy at risk. The increasingly
collaborative character of the Internet enables anyone to compose
services and contribute and distribute information. It may become
hard for individuals to manage and control information that
concerns them and particularly how to eliminate outdated or
unwanted personal information, thus
leavingpersonalhistoriesexposedpermanently.
Theseactivitiesraisesubstantial new challenges for personal privacy
at the technical, social, ethical, regulatory, and legal levels:
How can privacy in emerging Internet applications such as c-
laborative scenarios and virtual communities be protected? What
frameworks and technical tools could be utilized to maintain

event was on privacy and identity managementfor emerging Internet
applications throughout a person's lifetime. The aim of the IFIP
Summer Schools has been to encourage young a- demic and industry
entrants to share their own ideas about privacy and identity
management and to build up collegial relationships with others. As
such, the Summer Schools havebeen introducing participants to the
social implications of information technology through the process
of informed discussion.
