Over time, elevated pressure can cause a wide range of problems. Small bulges, called aneurysms, may form in blood vessels. The heart can become enlarged, raising the danger of heart attack and heart failure. Damage to blood vessels in the kidneys can cause them to fail. Because tiny blood...

Because the cargo, composition, and function of exosomes mirror the status of the producer cell, it stands to reason that infection with HIV may influence exosome composition in a body-fluid specific manner. Indeed, exosomes from blood and semen have intriguingly shown variability in function (5,...
