LATEST NEWS AbstractSmall extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a critical role in cardiac cell therapy by delivering molecular cargo and mediating cellular signaling. Among sEV cargo molecule types, microRNA (miRNA) is particularly potent and highly heterogeneous. However, not all miRNAs in sEV are beneficial. Two previous studies using computational modeling identified miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p as potentially deleterious in cardiac function and repair.
