As the conversation progressed, Kaufman elaborated on the role of exosomes in cellular communication, especially during injury or stress. He draws parallels between exosomes—often indicated in inflammatory responses and other physiological processes—and SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that what are classified as viral particles could actually be misidentified cellular debris.
Moreover, he points out that exosomes are naturally produced in response to cellular damage, complicating the distinction between genuine viral particles and cellular waste or signaling molecules in sick patients.
