Extracellular vesicles as human therapeutics: A scoping review of the literature
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by all cells and contribute to cell-to-cell communication. The capacity of EVs to target specific cells and to efficiently deliver a composite profile of functional molecules have led researchers around the world to hypothesize their potential as therapeutics. While studies of EV treatment in animal models are numerous, their actual clinical benefit in humans has more slowly started to be tested. In this scoping review, we searched PubMed and other databases up to 31 December 2023 and, starting from 13,567 records, we selected 40 pertinent published studies testing EVs as therapeutics in humans.
The analysis of those 40 studies shows that they are all small pilot trials with a large heterogeneity in terms of administration route and target disease. Moreover, the absence of a placebo control in most of the studies, the predominant local application of EV formulations and the inconsistent administration dose metric still impede comparison across studies and firm conclusions about EV safety and efficacy. On the other hand, the recording of some promising outcomes strongly calls out for well-designed larger studies to test EVs as an alternative approach to treat human diseases with no or few therapeutic options.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is an open access research publication that focuses on extracellular vesicles, including microvesicles, exosomes, ectosomes, and apoptotic bodies. It serves as the official journal of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and aims to facilitate the exchange of data, ideas, and information pertaining to the chemistry, biology, and applications of extracellular vesicles. The journal covers various aspects such as the cellular and molecular mechanisms of extracellular vesicles biogenesis, technological advancements in their isolation, quantification, and characterization, the role and function of extracellular vesicles in biology, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and their biology, as well as the application of extracellular vesicles for pharmacological, immunological, or genetic therapies.
The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is widely recognized and indexed by numerous services, including Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Current Contents/Life Sciences, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, Google Scholar, ProQuest Natural Science Collection, ProQuest SciTech Collection, SciTech Premium Collection, PubMed Central/PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded, ScienceOpen, and Scopus.
