While stem cells have the most therapeutic potential, the benefits of regenerative medicine may best be mobilised using extracellular vesicles, also known in the past as 'cellular dust'. A team of researchers has tested these vesicles for the first time in a porcine model for the treatment of post-operative digestive fistulas.
