Plasma-derived exosomal miRNAs as potentially novel biomarkers for latent autoimmune diabetes in adults

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

This study uncovers the miRNA profiles of plasma-derived exosomes from LADA patients and identifies exosomal miRNAs as potential biomarkers to discriminate LADA from T2D for the first time. Our data demonstrate the function of exosomal miRNAs in the development of LADA and contribute to an in-depth understanding of the precise mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of LADA.
