Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays important roles in brain development and neural function. Constitutive knockout of the splicing regulator RBM4 reduces BDNF expression in the developing brain and causes cerebellar hypoplasia, an autism-like feature.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from T cells have been proposed to mediate intercellular communication and orchestrate immune responses. The immunosuppressive drug, tacrolimus (TAC), suppresses T cell activity; however, the impact of TAC on T cell-derived EVs remains primarily unexplored.
