The fundamental significance of netrin-1 in developmental biology is reflected in its high conservation across different species as a part of the netrin family. The bifunctional nature of netrin-1 demonstrates its functional versatility, as it can function as either a repellent or an attractant according to the context and the expressed receptors on the target cells including the deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC), the uncoordinated-5 (UNC5), DSCAM, Neogenin-1, Adenosine A2b and Draxin receptors. By directing axonal growth cones toward the appropriate targets, netrin-1 is a critical actor in the formation of the intricate architecture of the nervous system. Netrin-1 is believed to be involved in additional biological and pathological processes in addition to its traditional function in neural development. The behavior of a diverse array of cell types is influenced by controlling cell adhesion and movement, which is impacted by netrin-1. It is a molecule of interest in both developmental biology and clinical research because of its involvement in angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, inflammation, and tissue regeneration, as confirmed by recent studies.

More and more, EVs such as microvesicles and exosomes (EXOs) are being recognized as viable options for cell-free therapies that address complex tissue regeneration. The present study highlights the functional relevance of EVs in regenerative medicine for nerve-related regeneration. A subclass of EVs, EXOs were first identified as a way for cells to expel undesirable cell products.

Their benefits include the ability to promote endothelial cell growth, inhibit inflammation, encourage cell proliferation, and regulate cell differentiation. They are also known to transport functional proteins, metabolites, and nucleic acids to recipient cells, thus playing a significant role in cellular communication. EXOs impact an extensive array of physiological functions, including immunological responses, tissue regeneration, stem cell conservation, communication within the central nervous system, and pathological processes involving cardiovascular disorders, neurodegeneration, cancer, and inflammation. Their biocompatibility and bi-layered lipid structure (which shields the genetic consignment from deterioration and reduces immunogenicity) make them appealing as therapeutic vectors.
