Glioma microvesicles carry selectively packaged coding and non-coding RNAs which alter gene expression in recipient cells.

abstract：:The innate immune system is the first line of defense against microbial pathogens, but tight regulation of gene expression is necessary to prevent the detrimental effects of unrestrained activation. Although the functions of most long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs; >200 nucleotides) are unknown, many have been shown to regu...
