Extracellular Vesicles from Interferon-γ–primed Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Reduce Escherichia coli–induced Acute Lung Injury in Rats

Extracellular vesicles from interferon-γ-primed human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells more effectively attenuated E. coli-induced lung injury compared with extracellular vesicles from naïve mesenchymal stromal cells, potentially via enhanced macrophage phagocytosis and killing of E. coli.
