Extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-bound particles containing a variety of RNA types, DNA, proteins and other macromolecules, are now appreciated as an important means of communication between cells and tissues, both in normal cellular physiology and as a potential indicator of cellular stress and other environmental exposures and early disease pathogenesis. EVs have pleiotropic actions in physiological and pathological conditions. EVs are commonly heterogeneous in size, ranging from 20 to 1,000 nm in diameter depending on their origin and mechanism of release, direct shedding or budding from the plasma membrane. Exosomes are vesicles with a diameter of 20–100 nm formed by the inward budding of endosomal membranes to form large multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and released extracellularly when MVBs fuse with the plasma membrane. Exosomes have recently been studied for their potential use in therapy as a 1) targeted and non-immunogenic delivery system for drugs or biological molecules, and 2) in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and their contribution to tissue repair and regeneration. This presentation will summarize NIH-funded activities in exploring the therapeutic applications of exosomes along with application of new experimental models, including organ-on-chip (OOC) systems and in vitro approaches to extend findings.
