Tick extracellular vesicles alter keratinocyte function in the skin epidermis

L. Marnin, L. Valencia, H. Bogale, H. Laukaitis-Yousey, A. Rolandelli, C. R. Ferraz, A. J. O'Neal, A. Schmitter-Sanchez, E. Bencosme Cuevas, T.-T. Nguyen, B. Leal-Galvan, D. M. Rickert, M. T. Mendes, S. Samaddar, L. R. Butler, , J. H. F. Pedra

This study shows that tick extracellular vesicles alter keratinocyte function in the epidermis by inhibiting proliferation and wound closure, linked to phosphoinositide 3-kinase, KGF-1, and TGF-β.
