Extracellular vesicle RNA reveals clues about obesity and metabolic disease

Our study examines how RNA in extracellular vesicles (EVs) can provide insights into metabolic phenotypes related to obesity. By using functional genomics approaches, we found a high representation of genes and regulatory elements previously associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes represented by the RNA cargo within these EVs.
