Abstract
Purpose of the Review
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are considered an attractive option for cell-based therapy because of their immune-privileged phenotype and paracrine activity. Substantial preclinical evidence indicates that MSC exosomes recapitulate MSC cellular function in cardiac regeneration and repair. Therefore, in this review, we briefly discuss the latest research progress of MSC exosomes in cardiac repair and regeneration.
Recent Findings
The recent revolutionary advance in controlling the contents of the exosomes by manipulating parental cells through bioengineering methods to alter specific signaling pathways in ischemic myocardium has proven to be beneficial in the treatment of heart failure.
Summary
MSC Exosomes appear to be leading candidates to treat myocardial infarction and subsequent heart failure by carrying rich cargo from their parental cells. However, more clinical and pre-clinical studies on MSC exosomes will be required to confirm the beneficial effect to treat cardiovascular diseases
