Exosome-Hydrogel System in Bone Tissue Engineering: A Promising Therapeutic Strategy

Junwu Wang et al.

Summary: Exosomes, as messengers of cell-to-cell communication, have similar functional properties to cells and can regulate recipient cell behavior. Cell-derived exosomes are involved in physiological processes of bone tissue repair. Hydrogels, as scaffolding materials, have adjustable material properties and can be used to deliver exosomes to the bone tissue damage site for prolonged action. The exosome-loaded hydrogel (Exo-Gel) system shows promise for bone tissue engineering.

Young Exosome Bio-Nanoparticles Restore Aging-Impaired Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cell Function and Reparative Capacity

Shanshan Jin et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that exosomes secreted by stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-Exos) possess abundant anti-aging signals and can alleviate the aging phenotypes of aged tendon stem/progenitor cells. Mechanistically, SHED-Exos modulate histone methylation and inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B to reverse AT-SC aging. In a naturally aging mouse model, systemic administration of SHED-Exo nanoparticles retards tendon degeneration and local delivery of SHED-Exos-loaded microspheres rescues endogenous tendon regeneration and repair capacity in aged rats.
