Small extracellular vesicles' miRNAs: Biomarkers and therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are critical in the healthcare system as patients suffer from progressive diseases despite currently available drug management. Indeed, the growing ageing population will burden the country's healthcare system and the caretakers. Thus, there is a need for new manageme...
