Abstract excerpt
Functions of extracellular vesicles including exosomes in the pathogenesis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have not yet been studied. We report that the extracellular vesicles such as exosomes derived from tuberous sclerosis 1 (Tsc1)-null cells transform phenotypes of neighboring wild-type cells in vivo in such manner that they become functionally similar to Tsc1-null cells. The loss of Tsc1 in the mouse...
