    Abstract only, or it's a poster presentation?

    It's in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles supplement and is described as a Document preview.
    It looks like a follow up to this paper last year which was a pilot study that looked at extracellular vesicles in blood and found slightly more of them and they were significantly smaller in pwME. It was a small pilot study.

    The one on this thread is about the downregulation of miRNA's in EV's and PBMC's. (I say that as if I know what I'm talking about!).

    Looks like an area that needs lots more research and might prove significant.

    Dr. Maureen Hanson is also looking at EV's as part of her NIH center grant.

    One of the authors of this is from Hanson's team, Lubov Nathanson.

    Lubov Nathanson is shown in the PDF as belonging to NOVA. That would be Klimas's team.

    So thinking out loud does this follow from previous miRNA / NK & CD8(+)T cell studies of Marshall-Gradisnik & Staines et al ?

    (As an aside, its good practice to spell out acronyms at least once in any document using them. In this case EV presumably means Extracellular Vesicles, but the same abbreviation is also used to mean EnteroVirus so it could be confusing.)

    I agree, though in this case the abstract is in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, so I guess they could reasonably assume their readers knew what they meant by EV.
