Stem cell-derived vesicles show promise for SMA in mouse model

Tiny carriers of cellular cargo called extracellular vesicles (EVs) — isolated from stem cells found in fat tissue — improved motor performance and slowed motor nerve cell degeneration in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), according to recent research. Researchers believe these so-called ASC-EVs may offer…
