[Advances in the research of effects of exosomes derived from stem cells on wound repair].
Exosomes are nano-vesicles released by many kinds of cells. Exosomes play a significant role in cell-to-cell communication and substance transportation through direct effect of signaling molecules on the cell membrane surface, intracellular regulation of cellular content during membrane fusion, or regulation of release of various bioactive molecules. Several studies have reported that culture supernatant of stem cells has some related exosomes to take part in wound repair. The secretion of exosomes is depended on the source and the physiological and pathological condition of deriving cells. How to stimulate the stem cells to produce exosomes maximally and their clinical application are worthy to explore. In this review, we summarize the biological function and application of exosomes derived from stem cells in wound repair.
