Exploring MSC-derived exosomes for tissue repair and regeneration

MSC-derived exosomes deliver stem cell benefits without the cells themselves – a curated review of recent research highlights their emergence as transformative next-generation therapeutics. MSCs are a crucial component of the body's self-healing mechanisms, responding to injury and infection through multiple mechanisms. These multipotent cells possess the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types, and this differentiation potential has been harnessed and applied in structural tissue engineering applications, such as bone regeneration and cartilage repair. While this aspect of MSCs has been explored for years, their ability to modulate the immune system and promote tissue repair through paracrine...
