Abstract

Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass, microstructural deterioration, and increased fracture risk. The crucial role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis has garnered attention, with vesicle-based treatments showing significant promise. Compared to conventional osteoporosis medications, EVs possess characteristics of naturalness, selectivity, and adaptability, and more importantly, they have negligible side effects. Hence, this review discusses the applications of natural and engineered EVs in osteoporosis are comprehensively outlined. Unfortunately, the absence of consensus on the extraction, purification, characterization, and storage of EVs has resulted in a lack of clinical evidence supporting their application in patients with osteoporosis. Although significant progress is still needed before the clinical use of EVs can be achieved, their substantial potential remains undeniable. Moreover, considering the complexity of bone metabolism in osteoporosis and the heterogeneity of EVs, further investigation into the functional subpopulations of different exosomes will facilitate their application.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Surgery (IJS) has a broad scope, encompassing all surgical specialties. Its primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of crucial ideas and lines of thought between and across these specialties.By doing so, the journal aims to counter the growing trend of increasing sub-specialization, which can result in "tunnel-vision" and the isolation of significant surgical advancements within specific specialties.
