Abstract
BACKGROUND The induced membrane technique is now widely used for pediatric diaphyseal bone loss due to various etiologies. Although consolidation rates remain satisfactory, complications, and healing delays may occur requiring additional procedures. We studied a series of induced membrane bone reconstructions in which the second stage included an embedded endomembranous non vascularized fibular shaft, in addition to iliac bone grafts. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results in terms of bone consolidation and complications. METHODS This is a retrospective comparative and multicentric study of 32 children with large bone loss treated with the induced membrane reconstruction technique. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the graft used during the second stage. The first group (G1) of 16 patients had a nonvascularized fibula embedded inside the membrane in addition with the corticocancellous grafts from the iliac crest. The second group (G2) of 16 patients underwent reconstruction using the original technique, with iliac crest graft only. RESULTS The 2 groups were similar in terms of etiologies of bone loss and follow-up (mean: 44 mo for G1 and 49 mo for G2). Mean bone losses were 15.4 cm (range: 2 to 25; SD: 5.6) for G1 and 10.6 cm (range: 3 to 19; SD: 5.2) for G2. In the first group, all patients healed primarily, with a mean time of 5.9 months (range: 4 to 8; SD: 1.6). In the second group, 2 of 16 patients did not healed; for the others 14, healing mean time was 6.9 months (range: 3 to 12; SD: 2.7). The short-term and long-term complications rates were 38% to 19% for G1 and 50% to 31% for G2, respectively. Regarding the donor site, the fibulas reconstructed spontaneously with a mean time of 4.8 months (range: 3 to 6; SD: 1.2). CONCLUSIONS The integration of a nonvascularized fibula during the second stage of the induced membrane technique appears to improve the consolidation rate in the pediatric population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III-Retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to promote the replacement of tissues lost to damage or disease. While positive outcomes have been observed experimentally, challenges remain in their clinical translation. This has led to growing interest in applying extracellular vesicles (EVs) to augment or even replace existing approaches. Through the engineering of culture environments or direct/indirect manipulation of EVs themselves, multiple avenues have emerged to modulate EV production, targeting, and therapeutic potency. Drives to modulate release using material systems or functionalize implants for improved osseointegration have also led to outcomes that could have real-world impact. The purpose of this review is to highlight advantages in applying EVs for the treatment of skeletal defects, outlining the current state of the art in the field and emphasizing avenues for further investigation. Notably, the review identifies inconsistencies in EV nomenclature and outstanding challenges in defining a reproducible therapeutic dose. Challenges also remain in the scalable manufacture of a therapeutically potent and pure EV product, with a need to address scalable cell sources and optimal culture environments. Addressing these issues will be critical if we are to develop regenerative EV therapies that meet the demands of regulators and can be translated from bench to bedside.

Abstract
In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key regulators of bone development, homeostasis and repair. EV-based therapies have the potential to circumnavigate key issues hindering the translation of cell-based therapies including functional tissue engraftment, uncontrolled differentiation and immunogenicity issues. Due to EVs' innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high physiochemical stability, these naturally-derived nanoparticles have garnered growing interest as potential acellular nanoscale therapeutics for a variety of diseases. Our increasing knowledge of the roles these cell-derived nanoparticles play, has made them an exciting focus in the development of novel pro-regenerative therapies for bone repair. Although these nano-sized vesicles have shown promise, their clinical translation is hindered due to several challenges in the EV supply chain, ultimately impacting therapeutic efficacy and yield. From the biochemical and biophysical stimulation of parental cells to the transition to scalable manufacture or maximising vesicles therapeutic response in vivo, a multitude of techniques have been employed to improve the clinical efficacy of EVs. This review explores state of the art bioengineering strategies to promote the therapeutic utility of vesicles beyond their native capacity, thus maximising the clinical potential of these pro-regenerative nanoscale therapeutics for bone repair.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vesicular bodies with a double-layered membrane structure that are detached from the cell membrane or secreted by the cells. EVs secreted by platelets account for the main part in the blood circulation, which account for about 30% or even more. Many types of cells are regulated by PEVs, including endothelial cells, leukocytes, smooth muscle cells, etc. Nevertheless, despite the growing interest in the study of extracellular vesicles, there are still only a few studies on the role of PEVs. Therefore, this overview mainly focuses on one method of isolation and the functions of PEVs in tissues found so far, including promoting tissue repair and mediating tissue damage, which can be used for researchers to continue to explore the role of PEVs in other fields.

Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2022; 17:302-316.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells derived from postnatal orofacial tissues can be readily isolated and possess diverse origins, for example, from surgically removed teeth or gingiva. These cells exhibit stem cell properties, strong potential for self-renewal, and show multi-lineage differentiation, and they have therefore been widely employed in stem cell therapy, tissue regeneration, and inflammatory diseases. Among them, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth [SHED] and their derivatives have manifested wide application in the treatment of diseases because of their outstanding advantages- including convenient access, easy storage, and less immune rejection. Numerous studies have shown that most diseases are closely associated with inflammation and that inflammatory diseases are extremely destructive, can lead to necrosis of organ parenchymal cells, and can deposit excessive extracellular ma- trix in the tissues. Inflammatory diseases are thus the principal causes of disability and death from many diseases worldwide. SHED and their derivatives not only exhibit the basic characteristics of stem cells but also exhibit some special properties of their own, particularly with regard to their great potential in inhib- iting inflammation and tissue regeneration. SHED therapy may provide a new direction for the treatment of inflammation and corresponding tissue defects. In this review, we critically analyze and summarize the latest findings on the behaviors and functions of SHED, serum‑free conditioned medium from SHED [SHED-CM], and extracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, from SHED [SHED-Exos], and discuss their roles and underlying mechanisms in the control of inflammatory diseases, thus further highlighting additional functions for SHED and their derivatives in future therapies.

Abstract
The use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is emerging as a promising acellular approach for bone regeneration, overcoming translational hurdles associated with cell-based therapies. Despite their potential, EVs short half-life following systemic administration hinders their therapeutic efficacy. EVs have been reported to bind to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and play an essential role in matrix mineralisation. Chitosan and collagen type I are naturally-derived pro-osteogenic biomaterials, which have been demonstrated to control EV release kinetics. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an injectable ECM-mimetic hydrogel capable of controlling the release of osteoblast-derived EVs to promote bone repair. Pure chitosan hydrogels significantly enhanced compressive modulus (2.48-fold) and osteogenic differentiation (3.07-fold), whilst reducing gelation times (2.09-fold) and proliferation (2.7-fold) compared to pure collagen gels (p ≤ 0.001). EV release was strongly associated with collagen concentration (R2 > 0.94), where a significantly increased EV release profile was observed from chitosan containing gels using the CD63 ELISA (p ≤ 0.001). Hydrogel-released EVs enhanced human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) proliferation (1.12-fold), migration (2.55-fold), and mineralisation (3.25-fold) compared to untreated cells (p ≤ 0.001). Importantly, EV-functionalised chitosan-collagen composites significantly promoted hBMSCs extracellular matrix mineralisation when compared to the EV-free gels in a dose-dependent manner (p ≤ 0.001). Taken together, these findings demonstrate the development of a pro-osteogenic thermosensitive chitosan-collagen hydrogel capable of enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of osteoblast-derived EVs as a novel acellular tool for bone augmentation strategy.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have garnered growing attention as promising acellular tools for bone repair. Although EVs' potential for bone regeneration has been shown, issues associated with their therapeutic potency and short half-life in vivo hinders their clinical utility. Epigenetic reprogramming with the histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) has been reported to promote the osteoinductive potency of osteoblast-derived EVs. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels functionalised with the synthetic nanoclay laponite (LAP) have been shown to effectively bind, stabilise, and improve the retention of bioactive factors. This study investigated the potential of utilising a GelMA-LAP hydrogel to improve local retention and control delivery of epigenetically enhanced osteoblast-derived EVs as a novel bone repair strategy. LAP was found to elicit a dose-dependent increase in GelMA compressive modulus and shear-thinning properties. Incorporation of the nanoclay was also found to enhance shape fidelity when 3D printed compared to LAP-free gels. Interestingly, GelMA hydrogels containing LAP displayed increased mineralisation capacity (1.41-fold) (p ≤ 0.01) over 14 days. EV release kinetics from these nanocomposite systems were also strongly influenced by LAP concentration with significantly more vesicles being released from GelMA constructs as detected by a CD63 ELISA (p ≤ 0.001). EVs derived from TSA-treated osteoblasts (TSA-EVs) enhanced proliferation (1.09-fold), migration (1.83-fold), histone acetylation (1.32-fold) and mineralisation (1.87-fold) of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) when released from the GelMA-LAP hydrogel compared to the untreated EV gels (p ≤ 0.01). Importantly, the TSA-EV functionalised GelMA-LAP hydrogel significantly promoted encapsulated hBMSCs extracellular matrix collagen production (≥1.3-fold) and mineralisation (≥1.78-fold) in a dose-dependent manner compared to untreated EV constructs (p ≤ 0.001). Taken together, these findings demonstrate the potential of combining epigenetically enhanced osteoblast-derived EVs with a nanocomposite photocurable hydrogel to promote the therapeutic efficacy of acellular vesicle approaches for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) is a paradigm that links prenatal and early life exposures that occur during crucial periods of development to health outcome and risk of disease later in life. Maternal exposures to stress, some psychoactive drugs and alcohol, and environmental chemicals, among others, may result in functional changes in developing fetal tissues, creating a predisposition for disease in the individual as they age. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) may be mediators of both the immediate effects of exposure during development and early childhood as well as the long-term consequences of exposure that lead to increased risk and disease severity later in life. Given the prevalence of diseases with developmental origins, such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, osteoporosis, metabolic dysfunction, and cancer, it is important to identify persistent mediators of disease risk. In this review, we take this approach, viewing diseases typically associated with aging in light of early life exposures and discuss the potential role of EVs as mediators of lasting consequences.

Abstract
Vaccines have been used to train the immune system to recognize pathogens, and prevent and treat diseases, such as cancer, for decades. However, there are continuing challenges in their manufacturing, large-scale production, and storage. Some of them also show suboptimal immunogenicity, requiring additional adjuvants and booster doses. As an alternate vaccination strategy, a new class of biomimetic materials with unique functionalities has emerged in recent years. Here, we explore the current bioengineering techniques that make use of hydrogels, modified polymers, cell membranes, self-assembled proteins, virus-like particles (VLPs), and nucleic acids to deliver and develop biomaterial-based vaccines. We also review design principles and key regulatory issues associated with their development. Finally, we critically assess their limitations, explore approaches to overcome these limitations, and discuss potential future applications for clinical translation.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are rising in global prevalence and cause significant morbidity for patients. Current treatments are limited to slowing instead of stabilising or reversing disease progression. In this review, we describe mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their constituents, extracellular vesicles (EVs) as being a novel therapeutic for CKD. MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) are membrane-enclosed particles, including exosomes, which carry genetic information that mimics the phenotype of their cell of origin. MSC-EVs deliver their cargo of mRNA, miRNA, cytokines, and growth factors to target cells as a form of paracrine communication. This genetically reprograms pathophysiological pathways, which are upregulated in renal failure. Since the method of exosome preparation significantly affects the quality and function of MSC-exosomes, this review compares the methodologies for isolating exosomes from MSCs and their role in tissue regeneration. More specifically, it summarises the therapeutic efficacy of MSC-EVs in 60 preclinical animal models of AKI and CKD and the cargo of biomolecules they deliver. MSC-EVs promote tubular proliferation and angiogenesis, and inhibit apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and fibrosis, to alleviate AKI and CKD. By reprogramming these pathophysiological pathways, MSC-EVs can slow or even reverse the progression of AKI to CKD, and therefore offer potential to transform clinical practice.

Abstract
Effective and rapid regeneration of bone defects often pose substantial challenges in severe accidental injuries and disabilities occurring due to diseases and/or advanced age, especially in patients having reduced tissue regeneration competence. The success of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based research strategies in improving bone regeneration was hampered not only due to the limited knowledge of therapeutic actions of MSCs but also due to difficulties as well as expenses related to cell manufacturing and time taken for ethical approvals for clinical use of living cells and engineered tissues. The recent trend indicated that there is a shift from the direct usage of MSCs toward the application of paracrine factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from their MSC secretome in bone tissue regeneration. This shift has directed research into the development of "cell-free" therapeutics, which could be a better alternative due to its several advantages over the use of their parental MSCs. Furthermore, accumulating evidence suggested that the 3D microenvironment influences the paracrine effects of MSCs. Although the osteogenic role of EVs has been explored recently, the current study showed, for the first time, that encapsulation of EVs along with MC3T3 cells in a 3D hydrogel-assisted culture with a distinct porous microenvironment having meso and macro (0.05-200 μm) pore size distribution resulted in an improved osteogenic response in vitro. The present work was primarily focused on investigating the influence of EVs isolated under distinct priming conditions to enhance the osteogenic potential. In addition, in the current work, the osteogenic ability of different types of EVs (microvesicles and exosomes) and total EVs isolated at different time points was also examined when encapsulated with MC3T3 cells in an alginate gel. Using various biochemical assays, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production and calcium secretion, it was observed that both microvesicles and exosomes collected from MC3T3 cells independently had osteogenic potential; however, their collective activity was found to be superior. We further showed that EVs induce an early osteogenic response in MC3T3 cells as indicated by ALP and calcium secretion at a much earlier time point, compared to the controls. Our data suggested that this 3D hydrogel-assisted system provides close proximity of cells and EVs, and thus, mimics the in vivo scenario, making it clinically useful for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
AIMS Non-coding microRNA (miRNA) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may promote neuronal repair after spinal cord injury (SCI). In this paper we report on the effects of MSC-EV-microRNA-381 (miR-381) in a rodent model of SCI. METHODS In the current study, the luciferase assay confirmed a binding site of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and Wnt family member 5A (WNT5A). Then we detected expression of miR-381, BRD4, and WNT5A in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells treated with MSC-isolated EVs and measured neuron apoptosis in culture by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. A rat model of SCI was established to detect the in vivo effect of miR-381 and MSC-EVs on SCI. RESULTS We confirmed an interaction between miR-381 and BRD4, and showed that miR-381 overexpression inhibited the expression of BRD4 in DRG cells as well as the apoptosis of DRG cells through WNT5A via activation of Ras homologous A (RhoA)/Rho-kinase activity. Moreover, treatment of MSC-EVs rescued neuron apoptosis and promoted the recovery of SCI through inhibition of the BRD4/WNT5A axis. CONCLUSION Taken altogether, miR-381 derived from MSC-EVs can promote the recovery of SCI through BRD4/WNT5A axis, providing a new perspective on SCI treatment.

Exploring a Chemotactic Role for EVs from Progenitor Cell Populations of Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth for Promoting Migration of Naïve BMSCs in Bone Repair Process. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6681771. [PMID: 33815511 PMCID: PMC7990532 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6681771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Mobilization of naïve bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) is crucial to desired bone regeneration in both orthopedic and dental contexts. In such conditions, mesenchymal progenitor cell populations from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) present advantageous multipotent properties with easy accessibility which makes them a good candidate in both bone and periodontal tissue regeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a functional membranous structure which could participate in multiple cell interactions and imitate the biological functions of their parenting cells largely. To assess their ability to mobilize naïve BMSCs in the bone repair process, Nanosight Tracking Analysis (NTA) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) were performed to illustrate the composition and functional contents of EV samples derived from SHEDs with different culturing time (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h). Afterwards, the Boyden chamber assay was performed to compare their capacity for mobilizing naïve BMSCs. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a post hoc Turkey test was performed for statistical analysis. SHEDs-derived EVs collected from 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h time points, namely, EV24, EV48, and EV72, were mainly secreted as exosomes and tended to reform into smaller size as a result of sonication indicated by NTA results. Moreover, different EV groups were found to be abundant with multiple growth factors including transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) given the detections through ELISA. Boyden chamber assays implied the migratory efficiency of BMSCs driven by EVs at varying concentrations. However, the results showed that migration of BMSCs driven by different EV groups was not statistically significant even with chemotactic factors contained (P > 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that EVs derived from SHEDs are secreted in functional forms and present a potential of mobilizing naïve BMSCs, which may propose their relevance in assisting bone regeneration.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of this study was to: review the efficacy of the induced membrane technique (IMT), also known as the Masquelet technique; and investigate the relationship between patient factors and technique variations on the outcomes of the IMT. METHODS A systematic search was performed in CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, and PubMed. We included articles from 1 January 1980 to 30 September 2019. Studies with a minimum sample size of five cases, where the IMT was performed primarily in adult patients (≥ 18 years old), in a long bone were included. Multivariate regression models were performed on patient-level data to determine variables associated with nonunion, postoperative infection, and the need for additional procedures. RESULTS A total of 48 studies were included, with 1,386 cases treated with the IMT. Patients had a mean age of 40.7 years (4 to 88), and the mean defect size was 5.9 cm (0.5 to 26). In total, 82.3% of cases achieved union after the index second stage procedure. The mean time to union was 6.6 months (1.4 to 58.7) after the second stage. Our multivariate analysis of 450 individual patients showed that the odds of developing a nonunion were significantly increased in those with preoperative infection. Patients with tibial defects, and those with larger defects, were at significantly higher odds of developing a postoperative infection. Our analysis also demonstrated a trend towards the inclusion of antibiotics in the cement spacer having a protective effect against the need for additional procedures. CONCLUSION The IMT is an effective management strategy for complex segmental bone defects. Standardized reporting of individual patient data or larger prospective trials is required to determine the optimal implementation of this technique. This is the most comprehensive review of the IMT, and the first to compile individual patient data and use regression models to determine predictors of outcomes.

Abstract
Aims Platelet concentrates, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet lysate (PL), are widely used in regenerative medicine, especially in bone regeneration. However, the lack of standard procedures and controls leads to high variability in the obtained results, limiting their regular clinical use. Here, we propose the use of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an off-the-shelf alternative for PRP and PL for bone regeneration. In this article, we evaluate the effect of PL-derived EVs on the biocompatibility and differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Methods EVs were obtained first by ultracentrifugation (UC) and then by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) from non-activated PL. EVs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and the expression of CD9 and CD63 markers by western blot. The effect of the obtained EVs on osteoinduction was evaluated in vitro on human umbilical cord MSCs by messenger RNA (mRNA) expression analysis of bone markers, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), and calcium (Ca2+) content. Results Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs was confirmed when treated with UC-isolated EVs. In order to disprove that the effect was due to co-isolated proteins, EVs were isolated by SEC. Purer EVs were obtained and proved to maintain the differentiation effect on MSCs and showed a dose-dependent response. Conclusion PL-derived EVs present an osteogenic capability comparable to PL treatments, emerging as an alternative able to overcome PL and PRP limitations.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represent a promising therapy for musculoskeletal diseases. There is compelling evidence indicating that MSC effects are mainly mediated by paracrine mechanisms and in particular by the secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Many studies have thus suggested that EVs may be an alternative to cell therapy with MSCs in tissue repair. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of MSC EVs actions in preclinical studies of (1) immune regulation and rheumatoid arthritis, (2) bone repair and bone diseases, (3) cartilage repair and osteoarthritis, (4) intervertebral disk degeneration and (5) skeletal muscle and tendon repair. We also discuss the mechanisms underlying these actions and the perspectives of MSC EVs-based strategies for future treatments of musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
Objectives The long head of the biceps (LHB) is often resected in shoulder surgery and could therefore serve as a cell source for tissue engineering approaches in the shoulder. However, whether it represents a suitable cell source for regenerative approaches, both in the inflamed and non-inflamed states, remains unclear. In the present study, inflamed and native human LHBs were comparatively characterized for features of regeneration. Methods In total, 22 resected LHB tendons were classified into inflamed samples (n = 11) and non-inflamed samples (n = 11). Proliferation potential and specific marker gene expression of primary LHB-derived cell cultures were analyzed. Multipotentiality, including osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic, and tenogenic differentiation potential of both groups were compared under respective lineage-specific culture conditions. Results Inflammation does not seem to affect the proliferation rate of the isolated tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) and the tenogenic marker gene expression. Cells from both groups showed an equivalent osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic and tenogenic differentiation potential in histology and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Conclusion These results suggest that the LHB tendon might be a suitable cell source for regenerative approaches, both in inflamed and non-inflamed states. The LHB with and without tendinitis has been characterized as a novel source of TDSCs, which might facilitate treatment of degeneration and induction of regeneration in shoulder surgery.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a prevalent worldwide joint disease, which demonstrates a remarkable adverse effect on the patients' life modality. Medicinal agents, exclusively nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), have been routinely applied in the clinic. But, their effects are restricted to pain control with insignificant effects on cartilage renovation, which would finally lead to cartilage destruction. In the field of regenerative medicine, many researchers have tried to use stem cells to repair tissues and other human organs. However, in recent years, with the discovery of extracellular microvesicles, especially exosomes, researchers have been able to offer more exciting alternatives on the subject. Exosomes and microvesicles are derived from different types of bone cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. They are also recognized to play substantial roles in bone remodeling processes including osteogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis. Specifically, exosomes derived from a mesenchymal stem cell have shown a great potential for the desired purpose. Exosomal products include miRNA, DNA, proteins, and other factors. At present, if it is possible to extract exosomes from various stem cells effectively and load certain products or drugs into them, they can be used in diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bone fractures, and other diseases. Of course, to achieve proper clinical use, advances have to be made to establish a promising regenerative ability for microvesicles for treatment purposes in the orthopedic disorders. In this review, we describe the exosomes biogenesis and bone cell derived exosomes in the regenerate process of bone and cartilage remodeling.

Abstract
Exosomes are a heterogeneous group of cell-derived membranous structures, which mediate crosstalk interaction between cells. Recent studies have revealed a close relationship between exosomes and bone homeostasis. It is suggested that bone cells can spontaneously secret exosomes containing proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which then to regulate osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis. However, the network of regulatory activities of exosomes in bone homeostasis as well as their therapeutic potential in bone injury remain largely unknown. This review will detail and discuss the characteristics of exosomes, the regulatory activities of exosomes in bone homeostasis as well as the clinical potential of exosomes in bone injury. Vesicles known as exosomes may prove to be valuable clinical tools once their function is clarified. Exosomes were discovered in the 1980s but not observed in bone tissue until 2003. Minghao Zheng of the University of Western Australia, together with colleagues elsewhere, has reviewed the biology of exosomes, their role in maintaining bones, and their potential clinical uses. Exosomes carry lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids between cells. They are released by every type of bone cell, with the role of each exosome determined by its specific contents. Exosome-mediated crosstalk is involved in regulating bone remodeling, and exosomes have also been implicated in myelomas. Recent work has shown that exosome treatment can improve fracture healing. The authors conclude that a better understanding of the role of exosomes in bone homeostasis will unlock their significant clinical potential.
