Trash or Treasure: extracellular microRNAs and cell-to-cell communication

Circulating RNAs in human body fluids are promising candidates for diagnostic purposes. However, the biological significance of circulating RNAs remains elusive. Recently, small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), were isolated from multiple human body fluids, and these circulating miRNAs have been...
