Obstructive Sleep Apnea Plasma-Derived Exosomes Mediate Cognitive Impairment Through Hippocampal Neuronal Cell Pyroptosis

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired cognitive function. Exosomes are secreted by most cells and play a role in OSA-associated cognitive impairment (CI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether OSA plasma-derived exosomes cause CI through hippocampal neuronal cell pyroptosis, and to identify exosomal miRNAs in OSA plasma-derived.
