Exosome, is identified as a nature nanocarrier and intercellular messenger that regulates cell to cell communication. Autophagy is critical in maintenance of protein homeostasis by degradation of damaged proteins and organelles. Autophagy and exosomes take pivotal roles in cellular homeostasis and cardiovascular disease. Currently, the coordinated mechanisms for exosomes and autophagy in the maintenance of cellular fitness are now garnering much attention. In the present review, we discussed the interplay of exosomes and autophagy in the context of physiology and pathology of the heart, which might provide novel insights for diagnostic and therapeutic application of cardiovascular diseases.

Diabetes is an extremely costly disease, one-third of which are attributed to the management of diabetic foot disease including chronic, non-healing, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Therefore, much effort is needed to understand the pathogenesis of DFUs and novel therapeutics. We utilized exosome staining to confirm the interaction between fibroblast-derived exosomes and macrophages.

Background: Myocardial fibrosis, a condition linked to several cardiovascular diseases, is associated with a poor prognosis. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment option and the application of stem cell therapy has been studied extensively. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of these studies has yet to be conducted.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous condition that poses substantial health risks. OSF is mainly caused by betel nut chewing behavior, but its pathogenesis is still unclear and there is no effective treatment strategy. The transformation of fibroblasts to myofibroblast is the key pathological change in the development of OSF.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for maintaining calcium balance, lipid biosynthesis, and protein folding. Disruptions in ER homeostasis, often due to the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins, lead to ER stress, which plays a significant role in various diseases, especially cancer. Urological cancers, which account for high male mortality worldwide, pose a persistent challenge due to their incurability and tendency to develop drug resistance.
