Figure 1

Isolation and characterization of EVs. (A) Schematic depicting EV isolation. Cells were brought to confluence, washed, and conditioned in serum-free (SF) media for a period of 15 days. Conditioned media (CM) was collected, purified (filtration, 0.45 µm), and concentrated using ultrafiltration by centrifugation (UFC, 10 kDa molecular weight cut-off) to isolate EVs. Figure was generated using Microsoft PowerPoint (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/powerpoint). (B) Representative nanoparticle tracking analysis traces depicting particle size and concentration. (C) Quantitative analysis of modal particle size in (B). (D) Quantitative analysis of particle concentration in (B). (E) Representative transmission electron microscopy images of EVs. (F) Quantitative analysis of EV protein concentration. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. CDC-EVs (n = 10); MSC-EVs (n = 4). Statistical significance was determined using the Mann–Whitney test, *P < 0.05.
