Extracellular Vesicles Used as Novel Approach for Tissue Repair

University of Birmingham researchers say they have used extracellular vesicles (EVs) to repair damaged tissues in a manner that simulates the body's natural healing process. Their paper ("Annexin-Enriched Osteoblast-Derived Vesicles Act as an Extracellular Site of Mineral Nucleation within Developing Stem Cell Cultures"), published in  Scientific Reports , illustrates a novel method to bone regeneration—stimulating cells to produce vesicles that can then be delivered to facilitat
