Extracellular Vesicles in the Intrauterine Environment: Challenges and Potential Functions
21 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes (30-150 nm) and microvesicles (100-1500 nm), play important roles in mediating cell-cell communication. Such particles package distinct cargo elements, including lipids, proteins, mRNAs, microRNAs, and DNA, that vary depending on the cell of origin and its phenotype. This cargo can be horizontally transferred to target cells where its components can reprogram the...
