Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles (MSCEVs) have therapeutic potential for tissue regeneration, but translating preclinical success to clinical applications presents challenges. Modifying stem cell culturing methods and bioengineering EVs can enhance the therapeutic effects of MSCEVs.
Simple Summary Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles (MSCEVs) obtained from MSCs can have numerous therapeutic applications via regeneration of various body tissues. There are certain approaches by which the therapeutic effect of MSCEVs can be further potentiated. Translation of MSCEVs from the preclinical to clinical level presents several challenges to investigators. Thus, knowledge of isolation, culturing, application, and various challenges faced during clinical applications of MSCEVs are the important aspects highlighted in the present review. Evidence suggests that stem cells exert regenerative potential via the release of extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles (MSCEVs) offer therapeutic benefits for various pathophysiological ailments by restoring tissues. Facts suggest that MSCEV action can be potentiated by modifying the mesenchymal stem cells culturing methodology and bioengineering EVs. Limited clinical trials of MSCEVs have questioned their superiority, culturing quality, production scale-up and isolation, and administration format. Translation of preclinically successful MSCEVs into a clinical platform requires paying attention to several critical matters, such as the production technique, quantification/characterization, pharmacokinetics/targeting/transfer to the target site, and the safety profile. Keeping these issues as a priority, the present review was designed to highlight the challenges in translating preclinical MSCEV research into clinical platforms and provide evidence for the regenerative potential of MSCEVs in various conditions of the liver, kidney, heart, nervous system, bone, muscle, cartilage, and other organs/tissues.
