ALIX-dependent small extracellular vesicles from tissue-resident mesenchymal cells regulate pancreatic β cell proliferation in obesity

Cells throughout the body release small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), including exosomes, that function as modulators of both local and systemic metabolism. Using mice in which ALIX, a key regulator of sEV biogenesis, was selectively deleted in PDGFRα + mesenchymal progenitors (...
