Intervertebral discs (IVDs) have a limited self-regenerative capacity and current strategies for IVD regeneration are unsatisfactory. Recent studies showed that small extracellular vesicles derived from M2 macrophage cells (M2-sEVs) inhibited inflammation by delivery of various bioactive molecules to recipient cells, which indicated M2-sEVs may offer therapeutic strategy the repair IVDs. Herein, we investigated roles mechanisms on regeneration. The in vitro results demonstrated pyroptosis, preserved cellular viability, promoted migration nucleus pulposus (NPCs).

Type1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by the loss of pancreatic β-cells. This β cell occurs primarily through inflammatory pathways culminating in apoptosis. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been heavily studied for therapeutic applications due to their regenerative, anti-apoptotic, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. The effects MSCs are mediated cell-to-cell contact, differentiation, release paracrine factors, which include extracellular vesicles (EVs). Culturing hypoxia, a low oxygen tension state more analogous physiological environment, seems increase efficacy MSC therapy, enhancing anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic also case with MSC-derived EVs, show altered properties based on parent preconditioning.
