tier1 The role of non-coding RNAs in exosome-mediated wound healing: A systematic review and meta-analysis. International journal of biological macromolecules · 2026 · PMID 41871760

Abstract summary (English) Clinically, wound healing remains a significant challenge, particularly in the management of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers. The comparative effectiveness of various non-coding RNA (ncRNA) categories has not yet been thoroughly assessed, even though exosomal ncRNA has become a promising therapeutic molecule. To assess the effectiveness and safety of exosomal ncRNA in wound healing within preclinical...

tier1 Stem cell-derived and plant-derived exosomes: Promising therapeutics for skin healing and regeneration. Molecular and cellular probes · 2026 · PMID 41655911

Abstract summary (English) Stem cell-derived and plant-derived exosomes are emerging as promising therapeutic agents in cutaneous repair, regeneration, and rejuvenation. They facilitate wound healing and skin revitalization through multifaceted mechanisms, including immunomodulation, promotion of cellular differentiation, and stimulation of angiogenesis. Additionally, their ability to modulate collagen production and remodeling underscores...

tier1 Human Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes in Wound Healing and Scar Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Aesthetic surgery journal · 2026 · PMID 41800724

Abstract summary (English) Exosome therapy represents an emerging regenerative medicine approach for optimizing wound healing and reducing scarring. Extensive pre-clinical research on human placental mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hpMSC-exosomes) demonstrates significant therapeutic potential in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery applications. Despite compelling preclinical evidence supporting the efficacy of exosomes in wound...

tier1 From Biointelligence to Biointerference: Exosomes as Bioengineered Cellular Communicators Transforming Regenerative Medicine. Aesthetic surgery journal · 2026 · PMID 41800719

Abstract summary (English) Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that facilitate intercellular communication by transporting regulatory molecules, such as microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. Acting as "software updates" for cells, exosomes influence gene expression and cellular behavior without altering the genetic code. Their emerging roles in tissue repair, immune modulation, and age-related rejuvenation have positioned them as...

Abstract summary (English) INTRODUCTION: Atrophic scars, caused by insufficient collagen deposition and ECM production during wound healing, significantly affect patients' quality of life. Conventional treatments often fail to achieve complete skin regeneration, prompting interest in regenerative medicine. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of emerging regenerative therapies, including extracellular vesicles, conditioned media,...

Abstract summary (English) Corneal scarring remains a leading cause of visual impairment and preventable blindness worldwide, particularly where access to corneal transplantation is limited. Over the past decade, significant advances have been made in nonsurgical therapies aimed at preventing or mitigating corneal fibrosis. This systematic review summarizes emerging nonsurgical interventions, including synthetic drugs, plant- and...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which have high rates of recurrence, amputation, and death, are a significant complication in the therapy of diabetes. Chronic inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy are the results of their etiology, which includes dysregulated glucose homeostasis. These elements contribute to the poor clinical outcomes of DFUs and their complexity.
