Harnessing the Angiogenic Potential of Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes for Vascular Regeneration by F. Alcayaga-Miranda, M. Varas-Godoy, M. Khoury

“…Exosomes are key mediators of intercellular communication and contain a cargo that includes a modifiable content of microRNA (miRNA), mRNA, and proteins. Since the biogenesis of the MSCs-derived exosomes is regulated by the cross talk between MSCs and their niche, the content of the exosomes and consequently their biological function are dependent on the cell of origin and the physiologic or pathologic status of their microenvironment. …”
