Platelets transfer microRNA (miRNA) and other coding and noncoding RNAs both through direct transfer and via exosome release where it can be detected in the plasma. The transfer of these miRNAs leads to altered vascular cellular phenotypes including changes in platelet proteins and platelet function (platelet image courtesy of Olga Vitseva).
