Abstract
The lung is a vital organ in the respiratory system, and there is a critical need to develop more effective methods for lung health management. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in intercellular communication. They exhibit high bioavailability and low immunogenicity, making them essential in maintaining cellular homeostasis and in the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases. This review describes the diverse sources, isolation techniques, functions, and challenges associated with EVs, particularly exosomes. We highlight their significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases, as well as their potential as drug delivery vehicles. By synthesizing recent advances in EVs research, this review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for future studies and clinical applications of EVs.
期刊介绍:
Cell Transplantation, The Regenerative Medicine Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is published 12 times annually. Cell Transplantation is a multi-disciplinary forum for publication of articles on cell transplantation and its applications to human diseases. Articles focus on a myriad of topics including the physiological, medical, pre-clinical, tissue engineering, stem cell, and device-oriented aspects of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and endothelial systems, as well as genetically engineered cells. Cell Transplantation also reports on relevant technological advances, clinical studies, and regulatory considerations related to the implantation of cells into the body in order to provide complete coverage of the field.
