...Exosomes are 50- to 90-nm (24), membrane-bound particles that have been reported to be abundant in plasma (25) and that have recently been shown (in cell culture studies) to contain miRNAs (26)....

...A major breakthrough was the demonstration that the cargo of EVs included both mRNA and miRNA and that EVassociated mRNAs could be translated into proteins by target cells (Ratajczak et al., 2006; Valadi et al., 2007)....

...Many RNAs that were isolated with EVs were found to be enriched relative to the RNA profiles of the originating cells (Ratajczak et al., 2006; Valadi et al., 2007; Skog et al., 2008; Nolte-’t Hoen et al., 2012a), indicating that RNA molecules are selectively incorporated into EVs....
