Abstract

Abstract: Growing interest in extracellular vesicles (EVs, including exosomes and microvesicles) as therapeutic entities, particularly in stem cell-related approaches, has underlined the need for standardization and coordination of development efforts. Members of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and the Society for Clinical Research and Translation of Extracellular Vesicles Singapore convened a Workshop on this topic to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with development of EV-based therapeutics at the preclinical and clinical levels. This review outlines topic-specific action items that, if addressed, will enhance the development of best-practice models for EV therapies. Abstract : In this concise review, members of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) and the Society for Clinical Research and Translation of Extracellular Vesicles Singapore (SOCRATES) discuss opportunities and challenges in development of EV or exosome-based therapeutics at the preclinical level, ranging from efficacy and quality control tests to determining mechanisms of action, and in translation.
