In this editorial we comment on the review by Wang published in the recent issue of the W in 2023. Small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) play important roles in the tumor microenvironment. In this review, the authors introduce the following points: (1) The composition and function of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) of different cell origins in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); (2) the crosstalk between exosomal miRNAs from stromal cells and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and the progression of HCC; and (3) the potential applicability of exosomal miRNAs derived from mesen-chymal stem cells in the treatment of HCC. In addition, the potential applicability of exosomal miRNAs derived from mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of HCC was introduced. In this review, the authors give us an overview of the exosomal RNA and summarize the function of exosomal RNA in HCC, which provides a deeper understanding of exosomal miRNAs to the readers.

Background: A 73-year-old female with a 3 year history of Alzheimer's disease was treated within the protocol of The Alzheimer's Autism and Cognitive Impairment Stem Cell Treatment Study (ACIST), an IRB approved clinical study registered with clinicaltrials.gov NCT03724136.

Method: The procedure consists of bone marrow aspiration, cell separation using an FDA cleared class 2 device, and intravenous and intranasal administration of the stem cell fraction.

Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) provides offspring with a hyper-metabolic intrauterine microenvironment. In this study, we aimed to identify key differential microRNAs in GDM-derived exosomes and explore the potential mechanisms of abnormal embryonic development of islets in offspring.

Main Methods: Exosomes were extracted from umbilical vein blood of GDM and non-GDM (NGDM) parturients for microRNA sequencing.

Objective: Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs derived from macrophage exosomes can regulate the stemness and progression of cancer. However, the interaction mechanisms between HCC cells and tumor-associated macrophages remain unclear.

Methods: Exosomes were extracted from control or CD63 overexpression macrophages and co-cultured with HCC cells.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin released by various cell types. They consist of lipid bilayers containing macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, microRNAs, growth factors, cytokines, and carbohydrates. Exosomes play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.
