Extracellular vesicles and regenerative medicine

Extracellular vesicles and regenerative medicine

Edited by Jeffrey Karp, Armand Keating and Kelvin Ng

An article collection in Stem Cell Research & Therapy.

Evidence implicating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in regenerative processes is rapidly accumulating. This series reviews recent progress in understanding EV biology and how it may be harnessed for therapy.

   BM-MSC-derived exosomes alleviate radiation-induced bone loss by restoring the function of recipient BM-MSCs and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling

   Radiotherapy to cancer patients is inevitably accompanied by normal tissue injury, and the bone is one of the most commonly damaged tissues. Damage to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) induced by ra...

   Early gestational mesenchymal stem cell secretome attenuates experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasia in part via exosome-associated factor TSG-6

   Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising tools for the treatment of human lung disease and other pathologies relevant to newborn medicine. Recent studies have established MSC exosomes (EXO), as one of the m...

3. Content Type:Review

   Illuminating the physiology of extracellular vesicles

   Extracellular vesicles play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transmitting biological materials from donor cells to recipient cells. They have pathophysiologic roles in cancer metastasis, neurod...

   Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells: a therapeutic option in respiratory diseases?

   Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are plasma membrane-bound fragments released from several cell types, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), constitutively or under stimulation. EVs derived from MSCs and oth...

   Acellular approaches for regenerative medicine: on the verge of clinical trials with extracellular membrane vesicles?

   Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of naturally occurring secreted small vesicles, with distinct biophysical properties and different functions both in physiology and under pathologica...

   Molecular signatures of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicle-mediated tissue repair

   Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in intercellular communications via their content molecules, and mimic, at least in part, the roles that are played by their originating cells. Consistent with...

   Role of extracellular RNA-carrying vesicles in cell differentiation and reprogramming

   Growing evidence suggests that transcriptional regulators and secreted RNA molecules encapsulated within membrane vesicles modify the phenotype of target cells. Membrane vesicles, actively released by cells, r...
