Core Tip Perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD) is a severe complication of CD, characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory cells and elevated cytokine production. Although various medical and surgical approaches aim to control this disease, recurrence remains a major challenge. Both animal models and clinical trials have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) can reduce inflammation and promote healing in refractory PFCD effects that may be further enhanced by autophagy activation. This review highlights the therapeutic potential of MSCs and their EVs in PFCD treatment and explores the supportive role of autophagy in enhancing their efficacy.
