Defining characteristics of mesenchymal stem cell-derived matrix-bound nanovesicles compared to conditioned culture medium extracellular vesicles

Renata Dos Reis Marques, Maulee Sheth, Ava I Salami, Supasek Kongsomros, Leyla Esfandiari, Marley J. Dewey

This study compares mesenchymal stem cell-derived matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) with conditioned culture medium extracellular vesicles (liquid-EVs), identifying size, protein content, zeta potential, and tetraspanin profiles differences, and proposing specific markers for MBV identification.

Matrix stiffness and stress relaxation regulate matrix-bound nanovesicle release from alginate hydrogels

Renata Dos Reis Marques, Jane A. Baude, Gianna M. Gathman, Ava I Salami, Ryan S. Stowers, Marley J. Dewey

This study shows that alginate hydrogel stiffness and stress relaxation rates control the release of matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) over time, offering a method to improve their therapeutic delivery.
