Extracellular vesicles and extracellular RNA in aging and age-related disease

Abstract

Circulating factors are well known to influence aging and age-related disease. As part of the Aging Science Talks: Science for the Community series, data was presented on two types of circulating functional biomarkers: extracellular RNA (exRNA) and extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs in the context of type 2 diabetes mellitus was also discussed, as this is an area of interest due to the growing global epidemic of this age-related disease.
