Platelet extracellular vesicles and the transfer of microRNA in atherosclerosis

On activation, platelets release two types of extracellular vesicle (EV); procoagulant microvesicles and exosomes. Platelets contain abundant microRNAs which can be packaged into EV and released into the blood, making a significant contribution to circulating microRNA. We aimed to characterise the E...
