Extracellular vesicles in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: mechanisms and therapeutic implications - paper June 2026 paywall (opens in new tab)

Sadly behind a paywall as it looks interesting. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as central regulators of intercellular communication in cardiovascular pathology. In atherosclerosis, EVs derived from endothelial, leukocytes, platelets, erythrocytes, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) actively participate in the initiation and progression of arterial wall inflammation. Endothelial-derived EVs can carry pro-inflammatory proteins and microRNAs that impair endothelial function, pro...
