Lipogenic Lung Fibroblast-derived Extracellular Vesicles Mitigate Cigarette Smoke-Induced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Pathologies through LAT1-mediated Alveolar Type II Cell Restoration

This study shows that lipogenic lung fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles reduce COPD pathologies by restoring alveolar type II cells via LAT1-mediated mechanisms.

Human bronchial epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicle therapy for pulmonary fibrosis via inhibition of TGF-β-WNT crosstalk

This paper shows that human bronchial epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles reduce pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β-WNT crosstalk through miRNA-mediated mechanisms.
