Enhanced Extracellular Vesicle Cargo Loading via microRNA Biogenesis Pathway Modulation.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are physiological vectors for the intercellular transport of a variety of molecules. Among these, small RNAs, and especially microRNAs (miRNAs), have been identified as prevalent components, and there has thus been a robust investigation of EVs for therapeutic miRNAs delivery. However, intrinsic levels of EV-associated miRNAs are generally too low to enable efficient and effective therapeutic outcomes.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Wound Repair in a Diabetic Mouse Model via an Anti-Inflammatory Immunomodulatory Mechanism.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have recently been explored in clinical trials for treatment of diseases with complex pathophysiologies. However, production of MSC EVs is currently hampered by donor-specific characteristics and limited ex vivo expansion capabilities before decreased potency, thus restricting their potential as a scalable and reproducible therapeutic. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent a self-renewing source for obtaining differentiated iPSC-derived MSCs (iMSCs), circumventing both scalability and donor variability concerns for therapeutic EV production.
