Yeah. b_b and I were the first to show that functional miRNA is transferred between cells in 2010. Other folk had previously shown that harvesting exosomes that contained miRNAs and then treating cells with them had the effect; but we devised an experiment that showed that a specific miRNA is transferred naively at such a level that it significantly inhibited translation of its targeted protein in neighboring cells. Probably my best work to date. It made the cover of the top cancer journal.
