Relevant to all pathology and physiology. RNA must associate with RISC to be functional - most miRNA studies never show this let alone showing they even bind and repress targets. If ‘in’ EVs - they also need to be delivered into recipient cells! Better expt. design please!🙏

This is a major story from #ASCO25. Randomized phase 3 trial of time of day of immunotherapy infusion. Randomized to infusion before or after 3pm. Early infusion far superior: PFS 11.3 vs 5.7 HR 0.42, OS HR 0.45! Impactful, pragmatic, not costly. This should be a bigger story.
