Nat Commun, 4, 2013, 2980 This paper discovers a sequence motif in miRNAs that is recognized by the RNA-binding protein hnRNPA2B1. Sumoylation of hnRNPA2B1 controls binding of miRNAs and inclusion in exosomes during their biogenesis. It's the first study describing sumo-dependent sorting of exosome cargo.

Tumour exosome integrins determine organotropic metastasis. Nature 527 (2015), 329–335 This study shows that exosomes from brain tropic tumor cells are internalized by brain endothelial cells and are important for preparing the pre-metastatic niche. Same is demonstrated for lung-tropic and liver-tropic tumor-derived exosomes, which enter lung and liver respectively. By profiling integrins, the authors find that the target organ tropism is defined by the pattern of integrins on the surface of exosomes.

J Extracell Vesicles, 3, 2014, 24722 This study shows that exosomes derived from primary cortical neurons specifically bind to other neurons, while neuroblastoma-derived exosomes are less specific and also interact with glia cells. The study suggests that cortical neuron exosomes preferentially adhere to presynaptic sites and are endocytosed.

Neurotransmitter-triggered transfer of exosomes mediates oligodendrocyte-neuron communication. PLoS biology, 11, 2013, e1001604 This paper demonstrates bidirectional signalling between neurons and oligodendrocytes involving exosome transfer from oligodendrocytes to neurons. Utilizing a Cre-reporter system, it is demonstrated that exosomal cargo is functional in target neurons. Neurons that receive exosomes are protected from different kinds of stress, suggesting a role in neuroprotection.

Stem Cells Transl Med, 2015 Here, the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes is directly compared to the efficacy of MSC whole cell entities systemically applied to mice after focal cerebral ischemia. MSC-EVs and MSCs showed similar effects, and hence the authors suggest that MSC-EVs might provide a better therapeutic opportunity due to safety reasons.
