Study progress of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of complications related to preterm infants / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Although great progress has been made in perinatal and neonatal medicine, the morbidity and mortality of premature complications remain high.At present, the prevention and treatment of preterm infants with broncho-pulmonary dysplasia, brain injury, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity and other complications are cha-llenging.Experimental evidences have shown that regenerative medicine based on mesenchymal stem cells is a promising therapeutic strategy for premature complications, although it has potential risks like tumorigenicity and immune rejection.Exosomes are the key mediators of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been a promising method for the treatment of premature complications.This study aims to review the research progress of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of premature complications.
