    Neuron-derived exosomes containing miR-25-3p can modulate microglial polarization and inhibit the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

  • 3

    Exosomal miR-25-3p directly targets TLR4, suppressing M1 microglial polarization and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

  • 4

    Inhibition of M1 microglia by miR-25-3p attenuates neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress, mitigating neurotoxicity.
