Engineering Cardiac Small Extracellular Vesicle-Derived Vehicles with Thin-Film Hydration for Customized microRNA Loading
Cell therapies for myocardial infarction, including cardiac ckit+ progenitor cell (CPC) therapies, have been promising, with clinical trials underway. Recently, paracrine signaling, specifically through small extracellular vesicle (sEV) release, was implicated in cell-based cardiac repair. sEVs carr...

Cell therapies for myocardial infarction, including cardiac ckit+ progenitor cell (CPC) therapies, have been promising, with clinical trials underway.
