Scientists find glycosylated RNAs in extracellular vesicles shape cell communication

Original: Glycosylated RNAs travel with extracellular vesicles and shape intercellular communication

A Nature publication reports that glycosylated RNAs, RNA molecules carrying sugar modifications, travel with extracellular vesicles and play a role in how cells communicate with one another. The finding points to a previously underappreciated mechanism of intercellular signalling and is drawing attention among biologists studying vesicle cargo and cell-to-cell messaging.

Why now: A new Nature study identifies a surprising role for sugar-modified RNAs in cellular communication.
