Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) being the most common subtype. Despite significant advances in reperfusion therapies, their limited time window associated risks underscore necessity for novel treatment strategies. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic approach due to ability modulate post-stroke microenvironment facilitate neuroprotection neurorestoration. This review synthesizes current research on potential stem EVs AIS, focusing origin, biogenesis, mechanisms action, strategies enhancing targeting capacity efficacy. Additionally, we explore innovative combination therapies discuss both challenges prospects EV-based treatments. Our findings reveal that exhibit diverse effects such promoting neuronal survival, diminishing neuroinflammation, protecting blood-brain barrier, angiogenesis neurogenesis. Various strategies, including modifications cargo modifications, been developed improve efficacy EVs. Combining other treatments, therapy, cell transplantation, nanomedicine, gut microbiome modulation, holds great promise improving outcomes. However, heterogeneity need standardized protocols EV production quality control remain be addressed. represent avenue offering address limitations Further needed optimize translate benefits clinical practice, an emphasis ensuring safety, overcoming regulatory hurdles, specificity delivery target tissues.

Retinal vascular diseases encompass several retinal disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related macular degeneration, and occlusion; these disorders are classified as similar groups due to impaired vascularization. The aim this review is address the main signaling pathways involved in pathogenesis identify crucial molecules importance their interactions. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) recognized a central molecule abnormal neovascularization key phenomenon thus, anti-VEGF therapy now most successful form treatment for disorders. Interaction between angiopoietin 2 Tie2 receptor results aberrant signaling, resulting loss pericytes, neovascularization, inflammation. Notch hypoxia-inducible factors ischemic conditions induce pathological disruption blood-retina barrier. An increase pro-inflammatory cytokines-TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6-and activation microglia create persistent inflammatory milieu that promotes breakage blood-retinal barrier neovascularization. Toll-like nuclear factor-kappa B important dysregulation immune response diseases. Increased production reactive oxygen species oxidative damage follow inflammation together vicious cycle because each amplifies other. Understanding complex interplay among various pathways, cascades, enables development new more therapeutic options.

Despite the recent advances in cancer patient management and development of targeted therapies, systemic chemotherapy is currently used as a first-line treatment for many types. After an initial partial response, patients become refractory to standard therapy fostering rapid tumor progression. Compelling evidence highlights that resistance chemotherapeutic regimens peculiarity subpopulation cells within mass, known stem (CSCs). This cellular compartment endowed with tumor-initiating metastasis formation capabilities. CSC chemoresistance sustained by plethora grow factors cytokines released neighboring microenvironment (TME), which mainly composed adipocytes, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune endothelial cells. TME strengthens refractoriness therapies enhancing survival signaling pathways, DNA repair machinery, expression drug efflux transporters anti-apoptotic proteins. In last years efforts have been made understand CSC-TME crosstalk develop therapeutic strategy halting this interplay. Here, we report combinatorial approaches, perturb interaction network between CSCs different component TME.
