New mechanism behind vascular damage in type 2 diabetes identified

exosomes

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found that extracellular vesicles from red blood cells contribute to blood vessel damage in type 2 diabetes. These vesicles transfer arginase-1, leading to oxidative stress and impaired vascular function. Blocking vesicle uptake and arginase activity could offer new therapeutic strategies for diabetes-related vascular...
