Abstract

In regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy is an effective strategy for tissue regeneration and has a positive therapeutic effect on the regeneration and repair of defective tissues. In recent years, a series of studies have shown that the positive effects of stem cell therapy are mediated by exosomes released by the paracrine action of mesenchymal stem cells. Researchers have thus proposed a novel treatment strategy to use stem-cell-derived exosomes alone for tissue regeneration and repair, and affirmed through studies that the effects achieved were comparable to those of stem-cell-based therapies. Therefore, as a promising treatment strategy, exosome-based tissue regeneration treatment measures have been extensively studied. In this review, we discussed the latest knowledge of exosomes and the research progress in the regeneration and repair of related connective tissues, including the regeneration of bones, cartilage, skin, spinal cord and tendons, and briefly discussed the corresponding mechanisms. In addition, the challenges and prospects of tissue regeneration and repair based on mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were discussed.
