Isolation of microglia-derived extracellular vesicles: towards miRNA signatures and neuroprotection

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2019
The functional preservation of the central nervous system (CNS) is based on the neuronal plasticity and survival. In this context, the neuroinflammatory state plays a key role and involves the microglial cells, the CNS-resident macrophages.
