Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized bodies, secreted by cells into the extracellular environment. In the past, EVs were considered 'cellular dust'; however, a growing body of evidence indicates that EVs are an important contributor in various diseased conditions. Over the past few decades, EVs have been shown to influence various inflammatory diseased conditions via the transfer of their cargo in the form of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, metabolites, etc., between cells. The present Special Issue focuses on how EVs contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. EV application in therapeutic agents for inflammation-associated diseases will also be covered in the present Special Issue.
