Extracellular vesicles are now thought to mediate inflammation and immunity by carrying PAMPs, DAMPs, autoantigens, microRNAs, cytokines and various metabolites and cellular components. In this Review, the authors put these findings in the context of rheumatic diseases and hint at the future of therapies that might use extracellular vesicles to modulate immune responses.
