Extracellular vesicles: squeezing every drop of regenerative potential of umbilical cord blood
Collection, cryopreservation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived cells have become a popular option for regenerative medicine, not limited to the transplantation of hematopoietic cell progenitors only. Indeed, increasing evidence shows that extracellular vesicles (EV), which include a heterogeneous pool of membranous structures secreted by the vast majority of cells, can serve as powerful tools for cell-free therapy due to precise multifunctional molecular cargoes. In this issue, Hu et al.
