Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes serious neuronal injury that often leads to death. To date there is no clinically successful treatment strategy that has been reported which offers repair of the brain injury or neural injury. Significant attempts have been made to develop effective therapies for TBI, and one of the most promising approaches is a stem cell based therapeutic approach with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This approach is regarded as having the most potential in regenerative medicine. Toward this venture, the generation and release of exosomes can be attributed to the therapeutic effects of MSCs. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles, carry proteins, lipids, mRNA, and miRNA, and assist in cell-cell communication. Exosomes can interact with brain parenchyma cells and with the neurogenic niche, which can help in neurogenesis and brain remodeling. Exosomes derived from MSCs and human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be a promising approach in neuronal injury healing. In this Viewpoint, we discussed the most recent knowledge for exosome therapies for neural injuries and highlighted the major advantages of this therapy. Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society.
