Cell-Specific Impacts of Surface Coating Composition on Extracellular Vesicle Secretion.

Biomaterial properties have recently been shown to modulate extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion and cargo; however, the effects of substrate composition on EV production remain underexplored. This study investigates the impacts of surface coatings composed of collagen I (COLI), fibronectin (FN), and poly l-lysine (PLL) on EV secretion for applications in therapeutic EV production and to further understanding of how changes in the extracellular matrix microenvironment affect EVs. EV secretion from primary bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), primary adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), HEK293 cells, NIH3T3 cells, and RAW264.
