Where this comes from

Abstract

In their recent Nature paper, Garcia-Martin et al. show that sequences within a microRNA influence how much of that microRNA is sent to another cell through extracellular vesicles. This supports a growing body of data demonstrating that cells use RNA to talk, but we know much less about how they listen.
