Abstract (original English)

Exosomes are small vesicles with a bilayer membrane structure secreted by a variety of cells. They are widely distributed in a variety of body fluids and contain proteins, nucleic acids and other components. They can mediate information transmission between cells and participate in a variety of physiological and pathological activities of cells. Hepatocytes, hepatic sinus endothelial cells and other cells were able to communicate with hepatic stellate cells via exosomes, and regulate the activation, migration, apoptosis and other biological activities of hepatic stellate cells. In this review, the recent advances in the regulation of exosomes on the biological activity of hepatic stellate cells were reviewed.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
