Allergies affect approximately 10–30% of people worldwide, with an increasing number of cases each year; however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been suggested to play a role... Read More about The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Allergic Sensitization: A Systematic Review.

PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model (2023)
Journal Article
Gomez, N. E., James, V., Arkill, K. P., Nizamudeen, Z. A., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. C. (2023). PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model. European Journal of Immunology, 53(6), Article 2250143. https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.202250143

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as mediators of intercellular communication and as such influence the recipient cell function. EVs derived from immune cells can carry out many of the same functions as their parental cells, as they carry costimu...
