Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key players in intercellular communication, facilitating the transfer of crucial cargo between cells. Liquid biopsy, particularly through isolation EVs, has unveiled a rich source potential biomarkers for health and disease, encompassing proteins nucleic acids. A milestone this exploration occurred decade ago with identification extracellular vesicle-associated DNA (EV-DNA) bloodstream patient diagnosed pancreatic cancer. Subsequent years witnessed substantial advancements, deepening our insights into molecular intricacies EV-DNA emission, detection, analysis. Understanding complexities surrounding release addressing challenges inherent research are pivotal steps toward enhancing liquid biopsy-based strategies. These strategies, detection monitoring various pathological conditions, cancer, rely on comprehensive understanding why how is released. In review, we aim to provide thorough summary decade’s worth EV-DNA. We will delve diverse mechanisms its biomarker, functional capabilities, discordant findings field, hurdles hindering clinical application. Looking ahead next decade, envision that advancements EV techniques, coupled improved standardization data sharing, catalyze development novel strategies exploiting both therapeutic targets.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-sEV) have recently garnered attention as a potential therapeutic approach for kidney diseases with anti-inflammatory effects. Infiltrated macrophages play an important role in facilitating tissue regeneration. However, the intricate regulatory effects of hucMSC-sEV on during cisplatin-induced acute injury (AKI) remain unknown. In this study, we uncovered that exhibited potent anti-inflammation and effectively inhibited polarization M1 phenotype macrophages. Mechanically, miRNA sequencing analysis qRT-PCR indicated novel miRNA, named miR-13896, was enriched hucMSC-sEV. When transfected miR-13896 mimic, displayed M2 elevated levels Arg1 IL-10, while inhibitor promoted phenotype. Furthermore, firstly established repressed Tradd expression by targeting its 3' untranslated region subsequently NF-κB signaling pathway Additionally, to improve effects, were engineered through electroporation, which resulted promoting macrophages, inhibiting inflammatory factors, enhancing repair. Conclusively, our findings provide insights into mechanisms underlying AKI, also highlighting electroporation promising strategy treating AKI.

Naturally occurring extracellular vesicles (EVs) and synthetic nanoparticles like liposomes have revolutionized precision diagnostics medicine. EVs excel in biocompatibility cell targeting, while offer enhanced drug loading capacity scalability. The clinical translation of is hindered by challenges including low yield heterogeneity, whereas face rapid immune clearance limited targeting efficiency. To bridge these gaps, biomimetic (SVs) emerged as innovative platforms, combining the advantageous properties liposomes. This review emphasizes critical aspects EV biology, such mechanisms EV-cell interaction source-dependent functionalities modulation, tissue regeneration, informing SV engineering. We reviewed a broad array SVs, with focus on lipid bilayered functionalized proteins. These include cell-derived nanovesicles, protein-functionalized liposomes, hybrid vesicles.
