Extracellular vesicles from human airway basal cells respond to cigarette smoke extract and affect vascular endothelial cells

Abstract The human airway epithelium lining the bronchial tree contains basal cells that proliferate, differentiate, and communicate with other components of their microenvironment. One method that cells use for intercellular communication involves the secretion of exosomes and other extracellular v...
