The topic of exosomes and their potential to protect the heart is a complex and important one. These tiny structures, which originate from different types of cells, can impact the heart by delivering their contents of RNA, DNA, lipids, and proteins. These substances possess the capability to impact processes like angiogenesis and apoptosis in a positive manner by traveling through circulation or directly communicating between cells and entering the heart
