Microvesicles and exosomes: new players in metabolic and cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2016
The past decade has witnessed an exponential increase in the number of publications referring to extracellular vesicles (EVs). For many years considered to be extracellular debris, EVs are now seen as novel mediators of endocrine signalling via cell-to ...
