“…Both platelets and more recently RBCs have been studied for their immunological effects and interactions with immune cells (Butler, 1989 ; Caillon et al., 2022 ; Ebeyer‐Masotta et al., 2022 ; Hemler, 2005 ; Kowal et al., 2016 ; Noris & Galbusera, 2023 ; Weiss et al., 2018 ; Yan et al., 2023 ). Further, EVs from platelet and RBCs in blood and plasma have been proposed to be key players in intercellular signalling and modulate immune responses in their microenvironment, especially by triggering signalling pathways but also directly by transferring receptors and inflammatory mediators from cell to cell (Danesh et al., 2014 ; Kuo et al., 2017 ; Mantel et al., 2016 ; Straat et al., 2016 ; Yáñez‐Mó et al., 2015 ).…”
