Integrins mediate placental extracellular vesicle trafficking to lung and liver in vivo

Abstract Membrane-bound extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication in all organisms, and those produced by placental mammals have become increasingly recognized as significant mediators of fetal-maternal communication. Here, we aimed to identify maternal cells targeted by place...
