TLDR Stem cell-derived vesicles improve blood vessel growth in limbs.
This study investigated the effects of large extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cell-mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) on lower limb ischemic disease. The results showed that iMSCs-lEVs alleviated injury and improved recovery of lower limb function by promoting endothelial cell angiogenesis through the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway. In vitro experiments demonstrated that iMSCs-lEVs enhanced the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HMEC-1 cells, highlighting their potential therapeutic role in treating ischemic conditions.
