This review focuses on typical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening sequela of human infections caused, particularly in children, by Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli strains. Thrombotic microangiopathy the brain and kidney is end point toxin action, resulting hallmarks HUS (ie, thrombocytopenia, anemia, acute renal failure). A growing body evidence points to role extracellu...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important players in the communication between different kinds of cells by delivering their content, consisting types RNA, proteins, bioactive lipids, or signaling nucleotides, into target cells. Several EVs distinguished: (1) exosomes with sizes from 30 to 150 nm originate endosomal pathway and form intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs), which fuse plasma ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication. By their origin, we can find vesicles derived from plasma membrane such as microvesicles, ectosomes, and membrane particles or exosomes, which originate in the endosomal membrane compartment. They contain numerous proteins, lipids, and even nucleic acids like mRNA and miRNA that can affect the cells ...
