Exosomes and Microvesicles from Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Protects the Endothelial Glycocalyx From Lipopolysaccharide Injury

Endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) damage occurs in various pathological states and results in endotheliopathy. Exosomes (ES) and Microvesicles (MS) isolated from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) have therapeutic potential. We hypothesized that ASC-derived ES and MS would not affect EGX shedding after injury.
