Platelet extracellular vesicles induce a pro-inflammatory smooth muscle cell phenotype

Platelet extracellular vesicles induce a pro-inflammatory smooth muscle cell phenotype

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mediators of cell communication during health and disease, and abundantly released by platelets upon activation or during ageing. Platelet EVs exert modulatory effects on immune and vascular cells. Platelet EVs may modulate the function of vascular smooth muscle cell...
