Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have great potential as a cell-free therapy in wound healing applications. Because EV populations are not equivalent, rigorous characterization is needed before clinical use. Although there has been much focus on their RNA composition and regenerative capabilities, relatively less is known regarding the effects of cell type and culture condition on EV performance. As such, I seek to characterize the functionalities of EVs isolated under various conditions in hopes of down-selecting for specific sub-groups of EVs best suited for use in different forms of trauma.
