Cardiomyocyte Microvesicles Contain DNA/RNA and Convey Biological Messages to Target Cells

Abstract

Our study suggests that microvesicles/exosomes released from cardiomyocytes, where we propose that exosomes derived from cardiomyocytes could be denoted "cardiosomes", can be involved in a metabolic course of events in target cells by facilitating an array of metabolism-related processes including gene expression changes.
