Abstract:New guidelines to uncover the physiology of extracellular vesiclesExtracellular vesicles (EVs)-nanosized membraneenclosed particles containing cellular RNA, lipids, and proteins-are secreted from cells into body fluids such as urine and plasma. The EVs provide exciting opportunities to understand human and animal physiology in that they can be used as liquid biopsies to gain mechanistic insight into complex conditions, such as hypertension. 1 Moreover, EVs may serve as vehicles for intercellular communication,… Show more
