Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a heterogeneous group of particles secreted by cells to transfer information from the cell of origin to recipient cells by carrying various bioactive molecules. Numerous PubMed records on EVs reveal a burgeoning interest in EV-research, with a notable subset focusing on the potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications of EVs for diverse diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), currently a globally leading cause of mortality. However, this great diagnostic and clinical potential has not yet been translated into clinical practice. No EV-based biomarkers and EV-therapeutic products have been approved, and EV-based therapy for CVD has not yet been shown to be effective. Therefore, this paper aims to scrutinize available data and identify what is needed to translate the underlying potential of EVs into specific EV-biomarkers and EV-therapeutic tools applicable in clinical practice.
