Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells Valadi, Hadi NATURE CELL BIOLOGY 2007 255.73 Exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location.
Extracellular vesicles: Exosomes, microvesicles, and friends Raposo, Graca JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY 2013 147.8 In this review, they focus on the characterization of EVs and on currently proposed mechanisms for their formation, targeting, and function.
