Age-Related Changes in Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Characteristics and Internalization by Leukocytes

Abstract Cells release lipid-bound extracellular vesicles (EVs; exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies) containing proteins, lipids and RNAs into the circulation. Vesicles mediate intercellular communication between both neighboring and distant cells. There is substantial interest in using EVs...
