Exosomal microRNA miR-92a concentration in serum reflects human brown fat activity

Exosomal microRNA miR-92a concentration in serum reflects human brown fat activity

Exosomes are RNA-containing lipid vesicles with roles in inter-tissue crosstalk. Here the authors show that exosome release from brown adipocytes is increased upon thermogenic activation, both in vitro and in vivo, and demonstrate that serum levels of exosomal miR-92 reflect brown fat activity in hu...
