Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an enormous public health concern affecting approximately 250,000-500,000 people worldwide each year. It is mostly irreversible considering the limitations of currently available treatments, and its prevention and management have been the prime focus of many studies. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is one of the most promising treatments for SCI. The role of MSCs in SCI has been studied extensively, and MSCs have been shown to have many limitations. Moreover, the therapeutic effects of MSCs are more likely related to paracrine effects. In SCIs, macrophages from peripheral sources differentiate into M1 macrophages, promoting inflammation and aggravating neuronal damage; however, studies have shown that MSC-derived exosomes can induce the polarization of macrophages from the M1 to the M2 phenotype, thereby promoting nerve function recovery in patients with SCI. In this review, we discussed the research progress of MSC-derived exosomal miRNAs in promoting M2 macrophage differentiation in the SCI, and introduced some exosomal miRNAs that can regulate the differentiation of M2 macrophages in non-SCI; it is hoped that the regulatory role of these exosome-derived miRNAs can be confirmed in SCI.

Background: Early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is frequently misdiagnosed, contributing to its high mortality rate. Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potential biomarkers for the early detection of PDAC.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using exosomal miRNAs from PDAC tissues and serum as biomarkers for early detection and prognosis.

Background: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis of lung microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) is the main reason of lung edema and acute lung injury (ALI) in septic conditions. Telocytes (TCs) are a distinct type of interstitial cells found around the lung microvasculature, which may protect ECs through the release of shed vesicles. However, whether TCs protect against LPS-induced EC apoptosis and ALI has not been determined.

Although stem cell therapies often involve exposure to AGEs, the impact of this environment on extracellular vesicles (EVs) and endothelial cell metabolism remains unclear.
Methods: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were treated with either 0 ng/ml or 100 ng/ml AGEs in a serum-free medium for 48 hours, after which MSC-EVs were isolated.
Our research on the expression and characterization of exosomal miRNAs in buffalo milk, particularly in the context of healthy, sub-clinical mastitis and pasteurized milk, is a novel contribution to the field. We are the first to investigate the expressions of miRNAs and the characterization of exosomes in boiled and pasteurized milk. This study is based on clinical signs and CMT, where twenty buffalo milk samples were divided into normal and sub-clinical mastitis and a third group of ten commercial pasteurized milk.

Aim: Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition characterized by organ failure resulting from an abnormal host response to infection, often leading to liver and kidney damage. Timely recognition and intervention of these dysfunctions have the potential to significantly reduce sepsis mortality rates. Recent studies have emphasized the critical role of serum exosomes and their miRNA content in mediating sepsis-induced organ dysfunction.
