Given the ongoing emergence of evidence on the effector mechanisms and methods of the utility of the MSC-Exos in knee osteoarthritis, a comprehensive review of the current evidence is the need of the hour. Hence, in this article, we review the current understanding of the role of MSC-Exos in the management of knee osteoarthritis in view of their classification, characterization, biogenesis, mechanism of action, pathways involved in their therapeutic action, in-vitro evidence on cartilage regeneration, in-vivo evidence in OA knee models and recent advances in using MSC-Exos to better streamline future research from bench to bedside for OA knee.
