Extracellular Vesicles Allow Epigenetic Mechanotransduction between Chondrocytes and Osteoblasts

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can be transported in extracellular vesicles (EVs) and are qualified as possible messengers for cell–cell communication. In the context of osteoarthritis (OA), miR-221-3p has been shown to have a mechanosensitive and a paracrine function inside cartilage. However, the question rem...
