Key Words Knee osteoarthritis; Bone marrow; Mesenchymal stromal cells; Extracellular vesicles; Exosomes; Hydrogels
Core Tip Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes show promise as cell-free therapeutics for knee osteoarthritis by delivering microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs that modulate nuclear factor kappa B, Wnt/β-catenin, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin and mitogen-activated protein kinases pathways. They suppress chondrocyte apoptosis, enhance matrix synthesis, polarise macrophages, and reduce pain behaviours. Delivery innovations like hydrogels improve retention, but rigorous Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles 2023-compliant characterisation and adequately powered randomised trials remain essential before clinical translation as disease-modifying therapy.
