Mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes:an alternative drug carrier for eye disease / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered as an ideal treatment for multiple diseases including ocular disease.Recent studies have demonstrated that MSCs-derived exosomes have similar functions with MSCs.Exosomes are nanovesicles surrounded by a phospholipid layer that shuttle active cargo between different cells.They are capable of passing the biological barrier and have potentials to be utilized as natural carrier for the ocular drug delivery.
