Journal ArticleDOI

Functional delivery of viral miRNAs via exosomes

TL;DR: These findings are consistent with miRNA-mediated gene silencing as a potential mechanism of intercellular communication between cells of the immune system that may be exploited by the persistent human γ-herpesvirus EBV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human bone marrow- and adipose-mesenchymal stem cells secrete exosomes enriched in distinctive miRNA and tRNA species.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primary MSCs release small RNAs via exosomes, which are increasingly implicated in intercellular communications, and may help to understand how M SCs impact neighboring or distant cells with possible consequences for their therapeutic usage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obstacles and opportunities in the functional analysis of extracellular vesicle RNA – an ISEV position paper

TL;DR: This position paper was written by the participants of the workshop to give an overview of the current state of knowledge in the field and to clarify that incomplete knowledge – of the nature of EV(-RNA)s and of how to effectively and reliably study them – currently prohibits the implementation of gold standards in EV-RNA research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biogenesis and function of extracellular vesicles in cancer.

TL;DR: This review highlights key cell biological processes that couple exosome biogenesis to cargo sorting in cancer cells and discusses how the bidirectional communication between tumor and non-malignant cells affect cancer growth and metastatic behavior.
