EVs prevent inflammation and polarize atrial macrophages to a pro-healing phenotype.

Open-chest surgery results in loss of the pericardial mesothelial cells, which provokes inflammatory infiltration and a fibrinous reaction (To explore the mechanism underlying these observed changes, we profiled the inflammatory infiltrates found within the atria 3 days after surgery. As shown in The long-term consequences of sterile inflammation induced by talc were evaluated in a series of animals sacrificed 7 days after surgery (
