3. The role of exosomes in sarcoidosis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease mostly affecting the lungs, marked by the presence of granulomas and the accumulation of interferon gamma (IFNγ)-producing T cells in the affected organs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles with a size range of 50 nm to 5000 nm, with exosomes ranging from 50 to 150 nm. READ MORE
