The Two-Phase Emergence of Non Pandemic HIV-1 Group O in Cameroon.

abstract：:Extracellular signaling is a mechanism that higher eukaryotes have evolved to facilitate organismal homeostasis. Recent years have seen an emerging interest in the role of secreted microvesicles, termed extracellular vesicles (EV) or exosomes in this signaling network. EV contents can be modified by the cell in respon...
