Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) extracellular vesicles (EVs) show promise in regenerative medicine, impacting angiogenesis, cell survival, and tissue repair. Further research is needed to establish their safety for potential cell-based therapies.
Area of Science:
- Regenerative Medicine
- Cell Biology
- Biotechnology
Background:
- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-secreted packages mediating intercellular communication.
- Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a key source of EVs with therapeutic potential.
- Understanding ADSC EV research is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review existing literature on adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) extracellular vesicles (EVs).
- To summarize the current state of research on ADSC EVs and their therapeutic applications.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search of the Pubmed database using keywords related to ADSCs and EVs.
- Exclusion of review articles and manual screening of titles and abstracts.
- Full-text assessment of eligible articles for inclusion in the review.
Main Results:
- A limited but growing body of original research focuses on ADSC EVs.
- 21 out of 44 initially identified manuscripts were selected for the systematic review.
- ADSC EVs demonstrate effects on angiogenesis, cell survival, apoptosis, inflammation, and tissue regeneration.
Conclusions:
- ADSC EVs exhibit therapeutic potential in various biological processes and disease pathologies.
- Further characterization and safety profiling of ADSC EVs are necessary for clinical applications.
- This review provides a comprehensive summary of ADSC EV research, highlighting areas for future investigation.
