Resumen
In the current years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained the overall attention in modern regenerative medicine therapeutics. Their demonstrated potential for the treatment of different conditions and their principal role in the efficacy of secretome-based therapies has driven their use. Indeed, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) are one the most popular source of EVs due to their largely demonstrated regenerative capacity. Some research groups have performed morphological studies of MSC-EVs by electron microscopy (EM). However, none of them have compared EVs from adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs) — the gold standard in MSCEVs research — and hair follicle-derived MSCs (HF-MSCs) by using Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging on rapidly-frozen samples. With this technique, it could be potentially reduced the sample damaging and artefacts caused by the addition of heavy metals, dehydration, or fixation steps. We therefore used cryo-TEM to compare, in their near-native state, the morphology and membrane protein decoration of EVs isolated from AT-MSCs and HF-MSCs.
