The Role of Microvesicles Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Lung Diseases. [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are membrane vesicles that are released by many types of cells and have recently been considered important mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication. MVs serve as a vehicle to transfer proteins and messenger RNA and microRNA (miRNA) to distant cells, which alters the gene expression, proliferation, and differentiation of the recipient
