Abstract
Exosomes have emerged as promising therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine. This review introduces a novel cell type-oriented perspective to systematically analyze exosomal properties in regenerative therapies. To our knowledge, this review is the first to comprehensively compare exosomes based on cellular source type, offering unprecedented insights into selecting optimal exosome producers for targeted regenerative applications. Factors beyond cellular origin influencing exosomal therapeutic efficacy, such as donor sites and collection methods, are also explored here. By synthesizing key advances, we propose promising research directions in the end. We aim to accelerate the development of more effective exosome-based regenerative therapies and highlight underexplored directions in this rapidly evolving field.
