BACKGROUNDSmall extracellular vesicles (sEVs) released in the cardiac microenvironment are reported to regulate cardiac remodelling, partially via microRNA transfer. Harvesting sEVs produced exclusively from the myocardium remains challenging and a solid research platform for sEV cardiovascular testing needs to be established. Organotypic living myocardial slices (LMS) allow to mimic cardiac disease and to record electrophysiological responses to biological and pharmacological stimuli. This stud...
