Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions

María Yáñez-Mó, +72 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs is provided, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of MicroRNA Biogenesis, Mechanisms of Actions, and Circulation.

TL;DR: An update on canonical and non-canonical miRNA biogenesis pathways and various mechanisms underlying miRNA-mediated gene regulations and the current knowledge of the dynamics of miRNA action and of the secretion, transfer, and uptake of extracellular miRNAs is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-coding RNAs in Development and Disease: Background, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Approaches

TL;DR: This review guides the reader through important aspects of non-coding RNA biology, including their biogenesis, mode of actions, physiological function, as well as their role in the disease context (such as in cancer or the cardiovascular system).
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNAs in metabolism and metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: Dysregulation of miRNAs may contribute to metabolic abnormalities, suggesting that mi RNAs may potentially serve as therapeutic targets for ameliorating cardiometabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and dynamics of molecular networks: A novel paradigm of drug discovery: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: It is shown how network techniques can help in the identification of single-target, edgetic, multi-target and allo-network drug target candidates and an optimized protocol of network-aided drug development is suggested, and a list of systems-level hallmarks of drug quality is provided.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).
Journal ArticleDOI

The functions of animal microRNAs

TL;DR: Evidence is mounting that animal miRNAs are more numerous, and their regulatory impact more pervasive, than was previously suspected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosomes: composition, biogenesis and function

TL;DR: The physical properties that define exosomes as a specific population of secreted vesicles are described, their biological effects, particularly on the immune system, are summarized, and the potential roles that secretedvesicles could have as intercellular messengers are discussed.
