Core Tip	Mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) that can be modified to transport therapeutic agents like small drug molecules, RNAs or proteins via various loading techniques. Engineered MSC-EVs facilitate focused delivery to affected tissues such as tumors, cardiovascular damage, neurological issues, inflammatory conditions and wound areas through receptor-mediated absorption and microenvironment-responsive pathways. The inherent biocompatibility, targeting ability and adaptability of MSC-EVs establish them as potential platforms for precision drug delivery and regenerative therapies.
