Extracellular vesicles in COVID-19 and long COVID: Structural mediators of viral persistence and immune dysfunction.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as pivotal structural mediators of immune dysregulation and viral antigen persistence in long COVID. Rather than passive biological carriers, EVs released during SARS-CoV-2 infection function as highly organized lipid nanostructures that preserve the native conformational integ...
