Abstract

Activated protein C (APC) was shown to release extracellular vesicles (EVs). APC bound to the EVs was thought to be responsible for cytoprotection. Our study demonstrates that the cytoprotective effects of APC-released EVs are independent of APC. APC-released EVs carry anti-inflammatory microRNAs in their cargo.
