Urinary Exosomal miR-193a Can Be a Potential Biomarker for the Diagnosis of Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Children

<div>Identification of the extracellular vesicles. (a) Morphological characteristics of extracellular vesicles isolated from urine under transmission electron microscopy (scale bars: 1 <i>μ</i>m). Most vesicles show the characteristic exosomal spherical structure and size (diameter &lt; 150 nm). (b) The detection of exosomal markers (Hsp70, CD9) by Western blotting. Data are representative images from the same FSGS patient. CL, urinary cellular lysates; Exo, urinary exosomes.</div>
