Fig. 1From: Extracellular vesicles: mediators of intercellular communication in tissue injury and diseaseOverview of EV-mediated communication in disease progression. EV secretion is a universal process among stromal, parenchymal, immune, and cancer cells. Cargo contained in EVs will reflect the state of the parent cell, and communication via EVs will occur in a selective manner with particular recipient cells in nearby and distant tissues. Ultimately, the result of EV communication will dictate persistence of tissue homeostasis or development and progression of a disease stateBack to article page
