Bacterial extracellular vesicles in the initiation, progression and treatment of atherosclerosis by Yuling Lin, Jingyu Wang, Fan Bu, Ruyi Zhang, Junhui Wang, Yubing Wang, Mei Huang, Yiyi Huang, Lei Zheng, Qian Wang, Xiumei Hu

“…Recent research indicates the crucial involvement of oral and gastrointestinal microbiota in atherosclerosis. While gut microbiota metabolites, such as choline derivatives, have been extensively studied and reviewed, emerging evidence suggests that bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), which are membrane-derived lipid bilayers secreted by bacteria, also play a significant role in this process. …”
