Epididymosomes Convey Different Repertoires of MicroRNAs Throughout the Bovine Epididymis1
27 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epididymosomes are small membrane vesicles that are secreted by epididymal epithelial cells and are involved in posttesticular sperm maturation. Although their role in protein transfer to the sperm membrane is well documented, we report their capacity to transport microRNAs (miRNAs), which are potent regulators of posttranscriptional gene expression. Using a microperfusion technique combined with a global...
