Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived nanoparticles regulating several biological functions[1]and likely involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases[2], yet their role in IIM was not investigated thoroughly.Objectives1) to develop an effective and reproducible laboratory method to isolate EVs from venous blood; 2) to trace any prominent EVs cellular… Show more
