Stem-cell-derived extracellular vesicles in neurodegeneration and neuroaging: therapeutic potential and challenges.
Review in Extracellular vesicles and circulating nucleic acids, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Neuroaging is a complex biological process in which the brain undergoes progressive functional decline marked by synaptic loss, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. At the molecular and cellular level, aging is driven by multiple interconnected hallmarks, including genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication. Among these, cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest, has emerged as a critical contributor to brain aging. Senescent cells accumulate with age, driven by the p53-p21 and p16-pRb pathways, and secrete pro-inflammatory factors via senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), thereby exacerbating neurodegeneration, vascular dysfunction, and cognitive decline. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural nanocarriers of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and have emerged as key mediators of intercellular communication and therapeutics for aging and age-related conditions. EVs derived from various cell types, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), can modulate senescence-related pathways, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. Preclinical studies demonstrate that stem-cell-derived EVs can improve cognitive performance, enhance neurogenesis, reduce senescence phenotype, improve neuronal survival through neuroprotective miRNAs (miR-181a-2-3p), suppress neuroinflammation via inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome, and support synaptic plasticity. Stem cell EVs possess natural biocompatibility, the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and targeted delivery mechanisms, making them promising candidates for anti-aging interventions. This review elaborates on the multifaceted role of stem cell EVs in mitigating brain aging, senescence, and age-associated chronic disease phenotype.
