ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are a valuable source of paracrine factors, as they have remarkable secretory capacity, and there is sizeable knowledge base to develop industrial clinical production protocols. Promising cell‐free approaches for tissue regeneration immunomodulation driving research towards secretome applications, among which extracellular vesicles (EVs) steadily gaining attention. However, the manufacturing application EVs limited by insufficient yields, gaps, low standardization. Facing these limitations, hydrogels represent versatile three‐dimensional (3D) culture platform that can incorporate matrix (ECM) components mimic natural stem cell environment in vitro; via niche‐mimicking properties, regulate MSCs’ morphology, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation secretion capacities. impact hydrogel's architectural, biochemical biomechanical properties on remains poorly understood, field still its infancy interdependency parameters compromises comparability studies.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by low-grade inflammation, cartilage breakdown, and persistent pain. Despite its prevalence, current therapeutic strategies primarily focus on symptom management rather than modifying progression. Monoclonal antibodies cytokine inhibitors targeting inflammatory pathways, including TNF-α IL-1, have shown promise but remain limited inconsistent efficacy safety concerns. Long-acting biologic therapies—ranging from extended-release formulations, such as monoclonal inhibitors, to gene therapy approaches—have emerged promising enhance treatment durability improve patient outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) gained particular attention novel delivery platform due their inherent stability, biocompatibility, ability transport cargo, biologics immunomodulatory agents, directly tissues. This review explores the evolving role of EVs in OA treatment, highlighting extend drug half-life, targeting, modulate responses. Additionally, for EV engineering, endogenous exogenous cargo loading, genetic modifications, biomaterial-based systems, are discussed.

Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a significant global health burden without known disease modifying agent thereby necessitating pursuit of innovative therapeutic approaches. The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) serves as reservoir mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC), and with adjacent synovium plays key roles in joint affecting local inflammatory responses. Therapeutically, IFP-MSC have garnered attention for their potential OA treatment due to immunomodulatory regenerative properties. However, optimizing efficacy necessitates comprehensive understanding how growth medium inflammatory/hormonal priming influence behavior. In this study, we isolated expanded three different media: DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), human platelet lysate (HPL), xeno-/serum-free synthetic (XFSF) medium. Subsequently, were induced an inflammatory/fibrotic cocktail (TIC) or oxytocin (OXT). We evaluated various parameters including kinetics, phenotype, capacity, gene expression, macrophage polarization capacity. Our results revealed differences the behavior MSC cultured media. HPL XFSF exhibited superior kinetics colony-forming abilities compared those FBS. Furthermore, both media enhanced expression markers (> 90%) potentiated Notably, XFSF-conditioned demonstrated highest attenuation peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation, indicating robust immunosuppressive Additionally, TIC further augmented functionality MSC, exhibiting suppression PBMC proliferation upon priming.
