Science Highlights

The Extracellular RNA Communication program goals focused on a number of topics related to exRNA. In Phase I, the program focused on developing reference profiles, therapeutics, biomarkers, and understanding the potential for biogenesis. Phase II then focused on single extracellular vesicle isolation and carrier separation. Phase I and II both included data analysis and dissemination goals.
