When Extracellular Vesicles Go Viral: A Bird’s Eye View

| Summary: | The science of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a rapidly growing field that spans multiple aspects of normal physiology and pathophysiology. EVs play a critical role in most basic biological processes of cell-cell communications under normal conditions and in disease. EVs have “gone viral” not only in terms of research popularity, but also in our realization that they exhibit an elaborate crosstalk with viruses, particularly with the enveloped ones, which are also extracellular vesicles that are released by cells as a part of their virulence cycle yet are replicative. Here, we highlight some of the complexities underlying EV-virus crosstalk and pathways and provide our insights on key challenges from the viewpoint of EV biology.
