Transferred MicroRNAs Modulate Insulin Sensitivity in Models

Studies using mouse models revealed that certain microRNAs (miRNAs) capable of modulating glucose metabolism were transferred via exosomes from adipose tissue macrophages to insulin target cells where they induced insulin resistance or sensitivity. More...
