Look Who Is Talking: Extracellular Vesicles as Mediators of Intercellular and Interorgan Communication

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular and interorgan communication during both physiological and pathological conditions. EVs include exosomes, ectosomes, and apoptotic bodies and contain bioactive molecules. EVs are delivered to proximal cells or can travel in bodily fluids and reach distant organs, where they trigger a response from the ...

open access: yesAnimal
Rearing piglets in large litters where there are supernumerary piglets compared to functional teats presents a challenge in maintaining piglet health by avoiding successive fostering, whilst minimising mortality caused by starvation.
