Abstract
The intricacy of the brain, along with the existence of blood brain barrier (BBB) does complicate the delivery of effective therapeutics through simple intravascular injection. Hence, an effective delivery mechanism of therapeutics in the event of either traumatic brain injury (TBI) or other brain injuries is needed. Stem cells can promote regeneration and repair injury. The usage of biomaterials and exosomes in transporting stem cells to target lesion sites has been suggested as a potential option. The combination of biomaterials with modified exosomes can help in transporting stem cells to injury sites, whiles also increasing their survival and promoting effective treatment. Herein, we review the current researches pertinent to biological scaffolds and exosomes in repairing TBI and present the current progress and new direction in the clinical setting. We begin with the role of bioscaffold in treating neuronal conditions, the effect of exosomes in injury, and conclude with the improvement of TBI via the employment of combined exosomes, bioscaffold and stem cells.Entities:
