Abstract

Wound healing is a complex process with the considerable burden on healthcare system. There are several cellular therapy methods that have been introduced to treat different types of wounds. Despite the advantages of cellular therapy, it is needed to overcome different limitations of this method such as; tumorigenicity and immune rejection. Accordingly, scientists have suggested cell-based vesicles and exosomes. Exosomes can promote proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis process in the wound environment. They have also some advantages such as the potential for drug and gene delivery, easy to storage, and stability in the body. These advantages make them as a novel approach in regenerative medicine without the limitations of cellular therapy. In this review, the authors emphasize on biological properties of MSC-exosomes and their therapeutic effects as a new strategy for wound regeneration. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018.
