Muscle-derived vesicles heal damaged cells and reverse disease in new study

Researchers discovered that mitochondria-rich extracellular vesicles (Ti-mitoEVs) from skeletal muscle can deliver healthy mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy and promoting tissue repair in mice. The approach reversed acute muscle injury and chronic kidney disease, offering a promising new regenerative therapy.
