Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vehicles of intercellular communication that are released from various cell types under physiological and pathological conditions, with differing effects on the body. Under physiological conditions, EVs mediate cell-to-cell and intertissue communication and participate in maintaining homeostasis. Certain EV types have emerged as biological therapeutic agents in various fields, such as cell-free regenerative medicine, drug delivery and immunotherapy. However, the low yield of EVs is a bottleneck in the large-scale implementation of these therapies. Conversely, more EVs in the microenvironment in other circumstances, such as tumor metastasis, viral particle transmission, and the propagation of neurodegenerative disease, can exacerbate the situation, and the inhibition of EV secretion may delay the progression of these diseases. Therefore, the promotion and inhibition of EV release is a new and promising field because of its great research potential and wide application prospects. We first review the methods and therapeutic opportunities for the regulation of EV release based on the mechanism of EV biogenesis and consider the side effects and challenges.
