Osteoarthritis (OA), a joint disease, burdens global healthcare due to aging and obesity. Recent studies show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) contribute to joint homeostasis and OA management. However, the impact of donor age on BMSC-derived EV efficacy remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated EV efficacy from young BMSCs (2-month-old) in mitigating OA, contrasting them with EVs from aged BMSCs (27-month-old). The study …
