Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) formulations have become valuable therapeutic tools in regenerative medicine. In addition, these blood derivates have been successfully included in cell therapy as fetal bovine serum substitutes, due to the real need to avoid the risk of host immunologic reactions and the animal disease transmission associated with reagents from animal origin. However, the protocols for obtaining them should be optimized to improve their biological potential. METHODS PRP-derived preparations with different concentrations of the platelet and plasma components were obtained from the blood of five donors by freeze-drying. Measurements of the pH, protein, and growth factor concentration were performed. Moreover, their biological effects on cell proliferation and migration and their angiogenic potential were assessed. RESULTS An increased plasma component concentration resulted in an augmented quantity of the total protein content, a significative variation in the hepatocyte growth factor concentration, and an experimental but clinically irrelevant alteration of the pH value. No significant changes were induced in their potential to enhance proliferative and migratory responses in epithelial cells, with the latter being reduced for dermal fibroblasts. The endothelial cell capacity for tube formation was significatively reduced. CONCLUSIONS An increased blood plasma content did not improve the biological potential of the formulations. However, they have emerged as a promising approach for regenerative therapies where neovascularization must be avoided.

Abstract
The root cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is insulin resistance (IR), defined by the failure of cells to respond to circulating insulin to maintain lipid and glucose homeostasis. While the causes of whole-body insulin resistance are multifactorial, a major contributing factor is dysregulation of liver and adipose tissue function. Adipose dysfunction, particularly adipose tissue-IR (adipo-IR), plays a crucial role in the development of hepatic insulin resistance and the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in the context of T2D. In this review, we will focus on molecular mechanisms of hepatic insulin resistance and its association with adipose tissue function. A deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the transition from a healthy state to insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and T2D may enable us to prevent and intervene in the progression to T2D.

Abstract
Our recent findings revealed that human adipose tissues (AT)-derived extracellular vesicles (adiposomes) vary in cargo among obese and lean individuals. The main objective of this study was to investigate the adiposomal lipid profiles and their correlation with cardiometabolic risk factors. AT samples were collected from obese subjects and lean controls and analyzed for their characteristics and lipid content. In addition, we measured the correlation between adiposomal lipid profiles and body composition, glucose and lipid metabolic profiles, brachial artery vasoreactivity, AT arteriolar flow-induced dilation, and circulating markers such as IL-6, C-reactive protein, and nitric oxide (NO). Compared to lean controls, adiposomes isolated from obese subjects were higher in number after normalization to AT volume. The two major lipid classes differentially expressed were lysophosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylcholine (LPC/PC) and ceramides (Cer). All lipids in the LPC/PC class were several-fold lower in adiposomes from obese subjects compared to lean controls, on top of which were PC 18:2, PC 18:1, and PC 36:3. Most ceramides were markedly upregulated in the obese group, especially Cer d37:0, Cer d18:0, and Cer d39:0. Regression analyses revealed associations between adiposomal lipid profiles and several cardiometabolic risk factors such as body mass index (BMI), fat percentage, insulin resistance, arteriolar and brachial artery vasoreactivity, NO bioavailability, and high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C). We conclude that the ability of adiposomes from obese subjects to disrupt cardiometabolic function could be partly attributed to the dysregulated lipid cargo.

Abstract
Exosomes are nano-sized membrane extracellular vesicles which can be released from various types of cells. Exosomes originating from inflammatory or injured cells can have detrimental effects on recipient cells, while exosomes derived from stem cells not only facilitate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues but also inhibit inflammation and provide protective effects against various diseases, suggesting they may serve as an alternative strategy of stem cells transplantation. Exosomes have a fundamental role in communication between cells, through the transfer of proteins, bioactive lipids and nucleic acids (like miRNAs and mRNAs) between cells. This transfer significantly impacts both the physiological and pathological functions of recipient cells. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor, is able to mitigate damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation through various signaling pathways. The positive effects resulting from the activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway in different disorders have been documented in various types of literature. Studies have confirmed that exosomes derived from stem cells could act as Nrf2 effective agonists. However, limited studies have explored the Nrf2 role in the therapeutic effects of stem cell-derived exosomes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge concerning the role of Nrf2 signaling pathways in the impact exerted by stem cell exosomes in some common diseases.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), a diverse group of cell-derived exocytosed particles, are pivotal in mediating intercellular communication due to their ability to selectively transfer biomolecules to specific cell types. EVs, composed of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, are taken up by cells to affect a variety of signaling cascades. Research in the field has primarily focused on stem cell-derived EVs, with a particular focus on mesenchymal stem cells, for their potential therapeutic benefits. Recently, tissue-specific EVs or cell type-specific extracellular vesicles (CTS-EVs), have garnered attention for their unique biogenesis and molecular composition because they enable highly targeted cell-specific communication. Various studies have outlined the roles that CTS-EVs play in the signaling for physiological function and the maintenance of homeostasis, including immune modulation, tissue regeneration, and organ development. These properties are also exploited for disease propagation, such as in cancer, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and more. The insights gained from analyzing CTS-EVs in different biological roles not only enhance our understanding of intercellular signaling and disease pathogenesis but also open new avenues for innovative diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a wide spectrum of medical conditions. This review comprehensively outlines the current understanding of CTS-EV origins, function within normal physiology, and implications in diseased states.
