The short shelf life of platelet concentrates (PC) up to 5-7 days leads higher wastage due expiry. To address this massive financial burden on the healthcare system, alternative applications for expired PC have emerged in recent years. Engineered nanocarriers functionalized with membranes shown excellent targeting abilities tumor cells owing their membrane proteins. Nevertheless, synthetic drug delivery strategies significant drawbacks that platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEV) can...

Extracellular vesicle (EV)-based approaches for promoting angiogenesis have shown promising results. Yet, further development is needed in vehicles that prolong EV exposure to target organs. Here, we hypothesized microfiber-reinforced gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels could serve as sustained delivery platforms human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived EV. with 50-200 nm size and typical morphology were isolated from hiPSC-conditioned culture media tested negative common...
