This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other ...

[6] Initiation refers to early paracrine-mediated changes in gene expression and phenotype that render the cells responsive to other cytokines and stimuli. Perpetuation then results from the ...
