Extracellular Vesicles and Their Convergence with Viral Pathways by Thomas Wurdinger, NaTosha N. Gatson, Leonora Balaj, Balveen Kaur, Xandra O. Breakefield, D. Michiel Pegtel

“…Finally, endogenous retrovirus and retrotransposon elements deposited in our genomes millions of years ago can be released from cells within microvesicles, suggestive of a viral origin of the microvesicle system or perhaps of an evolutionary conserved system of virus-vesicle codependence. More research is needed to further elucidate the complex function of the various microvesicles produced during viral infection, possibly revealing new therapeutic intervention strategies.…”
