There is emerging understanding about various cellular interactions in the initiation and progression of asthma, but the process of communication among cells is not known.Exosomes are being increasingly implicated as an important communication tool amongst different cell types, so it would be interesting to elucidate the role of exosome-mediated crosstalk in the progression of asthma.
Epithelial-cell derived exosomes could play an important role in orchestrating immune regulation in lungs by interacting with cells of the immune system and modulating their functions.
It would be interesting to find out the individual components of exosomes responsible for their mode of action.
