Circulating miRNAs in small vesicles known as exosomes within blood have been emerging as a new research hotspot in the field of psychiatric disorders. The aim of this work was to characterize the changes in exosomal microRNA profiles, both short-term and long-term, during substance withdrawal using a cross-sectional study design. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, a series of known, conserved, and novel exosomal microRNAs were identified as being associated with withdrawal stag...
