Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are physiological vectors for the intercellular transport of a variety of molecules. Among these, small RNAs, and especially microRNAs (miRNAs), have been identified as prevalent components, and there has thus been a robust investigation of EVs for therapeutic miRNAs delivery. However, intrinsic levels of EV-associated miRNAs are generally too low to enable efficient and effective therapeutic outcomes.

This potential is derived from the broad array of constituent and/or cargo molecules associated with EVs. Among these, microRNAs (miRNAs) are commonly implicated as important and have been associated with a wide variety of EV-induced biological phenomena.
