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...
