Abstract (original English)

Cerebral ischemia refers to the symptom of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Cells of many different origins participate in the process of repairing damage after cerebral ischemia occurs, in which exosomes secreted by the cells play important roles. For their characteristics, such as small molecular weight, low immunogenicity, and the easy penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), exosomes can mediate cell-to-cell communication under pathophysiological conditions. In cerebral ischemia, exosomes can reduce neuronal damage and improve the brain microenvironment by regulating inflammation, mediating pyroptosis, promoting axonal growth, and stimulating vascular remodeling. Therefore, exosomes have an excellent application prospect for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. This article reviews the roles and mechanisms of exosomes from different sources in cerebral ischemia and provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cerebral ischemia.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
