Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...
