Abstract (original English)
The ability of bone for regeneration has long been recognized. However, once beyond a critical size, spontaneous regeneration of bone is limited. Several studies have focused on enhancing bone regeneration by applying mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment strategies. Despite the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs in bone regeneration, cell-based therapies are impeded by several challenges in maintaining the optimal cell potency and viability during expansion, storage, and final delivery to patients. Recently, there has been a paradigm shift in therapeutic mechanism of MSCs in tissue repair from one based on cellular differentiation and replacement to one based on secretion and paracrine signaling. Among the broad spectrum of trophic factors, extracellular vesicles particularly the exosomes have been reported to be therapeutically efficacious in several injury/disease indications, including bone defects and diseases. The current systematic review aims to summarize the results of the existing animal studies which were conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of MSC exosomes for bone regeneration. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines, the PubMed and The Cochrane Library database were searched for relevant controlled preclinical animal studies. A total of 23 studies were identified, with the total sample size
