Core Tip This editorial frames GrpE-like 1-loaded synovial extracellular vesicles as a mitochondria-centric strategy for osteoarthritis and translates bench evidence into an executable roadmap. We operationalize identity/purity panels, dual-metric dose (particles and protein), shared exposure anchors, and a mechanism-linked potency assay for lot release and comparability. Early trials should prespecify Outcome Measures in Rheumatology-Osteoarthritis Research Society International endpoints with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging cartilage thickness as an exploratory structural anchor. Transparent method registration and time-bounded regulatory messaging are emphasized to improve reproducibility, cross-study comparison, and readiness for first-in-human evaluation.
