Abstract
In the recent decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been released from nearly all the kingdoms, modulating intercellular communication and maintaining the human body's homeostasis by regulating different cellular processes. Among EVs, exosomes are the emerging field in biopharmaceuticals. They have lipid bilayer ranging from 30 to 150 nm in size and encompass DNA, RNA, protein lipids, etc. Their sources are widespread, easy to acquire, and cost-effective in manufacturing. This review focuses on the detailed classification of exosomes existing in nature, knowledge and application of omics, therapeutic, diagnostic and theranostic application of exosomes. It covers diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, fungal infections), neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, lifestyle diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular, gastric disorder (IBD)), autoimmune disorders and their biodistribution. This article unfolds the recent progress in the exosomes arena and covers all the regulatory considerations (FDA, EMA, and other nations) involved with it. Moreover, a detailed discussion about clinical trials and its manifestation with exosomes and challenges associated with their isolation procedures, reproducibility, and safety concerns.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
