Funded Activity Summary

How protein and RNA cargo are sorted into exosomes. This project aims to understand how proteins and RNA are selected for packaging into exosomes and participate in the biological functions mediated by these vesicles. Exosomes are small membranous extracellular vesicles released by cells which contain protein and RNA cargo and are involved in intercellular communication. Determining how the exosome cargo is selected and related to its function in intercellular communication is expected to show how these vesicles maintain cellular homeostasis. The findings will expand knowledge in the area of microRNA biology, proteomics and develop expertise in bioinformatics.
