Abstract:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem and progenitor cells may have therapeutic effects comparable to their parental cells and are considered promising agents for the treatment of a variety of diseases. To this end, strategies must be designed to successfully translate EV research and to develop safe and efficacious therapies, whilst taking into account the applicable regulations. Here, we discuss the requirements for manufacturing, safety, and efficacy testing of EVs along their path from the laborat… Show more
“…MSC paracrine activity has been already shown by conditioned medium. On the other hand, the individual contribution of MSC‐derived exosomes is only now being unraveled . Based on our results, conditioned medium with exosomes is more effective in the protection of NICCs viability and function under hypoxic conditions compared with exosomes‐free conditioned medium, and the protective effect against hypoxic damage is related to the concentration of exosomes, suggesting the potential of MSC‐derived exosomes in improving porcine islet survival and function in clinical islet xenotransplantation.…”
This study found that hu-MSC-CM could protect NICCs from hypoxia-induced dysfunction, and exosomes played an important role in hypoxic resistance, suggesting a potential strategy to improve islet transplantation outcomes.

“…MSCs have been infused in patients with various disorders without any significant side effects (19). Additionally, bone marrow-derived MSCs have emerged as an attractive cellular source for the generation of clinical-grade exosomes for human therapies (20,21). Here, we report on the production process and the potential of MSCs in the generation and engineering Exosomes are extracellular vesicles produced by all cells with a remarkable ability to efficiently transfer genetic material, including exogenously loaded siRNA, to cancer cells.…”
“…In any case, both types of artificial EVs should meet product specifications related to “purity, identity, quantity, potency and sterility” in concordance with the pharmaceutical market regulations [28]. Once more, there are several important differences in the definition of these parameters depending on the semi- or fully synthetic character of EVs.…”
Section: Impact Of the Artificial Ev Classification In The Design Ofmentioning
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as novel theranostic tools. Limitations related to clinical uses are leading to a new research area on design and manufacture of artificial EVs. Several strategies have been reported in order to produce artificial EVs, but there has not yet been a clear criterion by which to differentiate these novel biomaterials. In this paper, we suggest for the first time a systematic classification of the terms used to build up the artificial EV landscape, based on the preparation method. This could be useful to guide the derivation to clinical trial routes and to clarify the literature. According to our classification, we have reviewed the main strategies reported to date for their preparation, including key points such as: cargo loading, surface targeting strategies, purification steps, generation of membrane fragments for the construction of biomimetic materials, preparation of synthetic membranes inspired in EV composition and subsequent surface decoration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
