Traditional therapies are often limited by systemic side effects, immunosuppression, and lack of long-term efficacy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated immunomodulatory properties, primarily through the secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are now recognized as potent mediators of immune regulation. MSC-derived EVs carry bioactive molecules such as microRNAs, proteins, and lipids that influence key immune pathways, making them a promising therapeutic avenue for autoimmune diseases. This review critically examines the immunomodulatory mechanisms of MSC-derived EVs, focusing on their role in regulating T cells, B cells, and macrophages, which are central to autoimmune pathology. We explore recent preclinical and clinical studies that highlight the ability of MSC-derived EVs to reduce inflammation, promote immune tolerance, and restore tissue homeostasis in autoimmune settings. Furthermore, we discuss the advantages of EV-based therapy over MSC-based therapies, including improved safety profiles, lower immunogenicity, and scalability for clinical application. By evaluating the current landscape of MSC-derived EV research, we identify key gaps and propose innovative strategies to optimize EVbased therapies for autoimmune diseases. These strategies include engineering EVs to enhance their specificity and therapeutic efficacy, as well as integrating them with biomaterials for targeted delivery. Our review aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on the potential of MSC-derived EVs as a novel therapeutic approach, moving beyond traditional cell-based therapies to offer more precise and personalized treatment options for autoimmune diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":93971,"journal":{"name":"Current stem cell research & therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142934020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the results of ZSW were coordinated through immunomodulatory, inflammation-related, and drug resistance-related genes, including the PI3K-Akt, cAMP, and Wnt signaling pathways. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations indicated moderate binding capacity between the active compounds and the screened target.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In this study, we successfully identified possible active ingredients and predicted potential targets and pathways for ZSW for the treatment of ALL. We provide a new strategy for further research on the molecular basis of ZSW biological effects in ALL. In addition, the potential active ingredients could provide new leads for drug discovery in ALL investigations.</p>","PeriodicalId":93971,"journal":{"name":"Current stem cell research & therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
