    Inflammation-induced endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles modulate the cellular status of pericytes

    Emerging lines of evidence have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate cell-to-cell communication by exporting encapsulated materials, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), to target cells. Endothelial cell-der...
