Characteristics and therapeutic potential of ADSC-Exos. ADSC-Exos contain tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, and CD81), vesicle-forming proteins (Alix and TSG101), heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), nucleic acids (mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs), lipids, and amino acids. ADSC-Exos exert their therapeutic potential by enhancing cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and ECM synthesis, participating in immunoregulation, and inhibiting apoptosis or pyroptosis. ADSC-Exos: adipose-derived stem cell-derived exosomes; ECM: extracellular matrix; HSP: heat shock protein; TSG: tumor suppressor gene
