Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subpopulation of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells with a fundamental role in maintaining immune homeostasis and inhibiting unwanted immune responses using several different mechanisms. Recently, the intercellular transfer of molecules between Tregs and their target cells has been shown via trogocytosis and the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). In this study, CD4<sup>+</sup>CD25<sup>+</sup>CD127<sup>lo</sup> human Tregs were found to produce sEVs capable of i ...[more]
