“…The EV components can participate not only in various physiological processes such as homeostasis, inflammation, immunological interactions, and angiogenesis, but also in pathophysiological conditions involved in the development of cancer and metastasis, autoimmune diseases, and infections of various types [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. EVs isolated from stem and endothelial progenitors have been tested in several disease models and shown to protect and/or repair kidney, nervous and heart tissue after injury, among other tissues and organs [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. On the downside, however, EVs can also help in preparing the niche for metastases, for example [ 27 , 28 ].…”
