Shows MSC exosomes reduce lung inflammation in a murine aspiration model, suggesting a new treatment approach.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of MSC-derived exosomes to reduce lung inflammation caused by aspiration pneumonia.
Divided 17 male rats into three groups: LPS‐EXO, LPS‐only, and sham controls.
Administered LPS and MSC exosomes to LPS‐EXO group.
Used histopathology and qRT‐PCR to assess lung injury and cytokine expression.
Found a mean histologic lung injury score of 7.13 in the LPS‐EXO group.
Observed significantly lower Tnf expression in the LPS‐EXO group compared to the LPS-only group.
Showed a significant improvement across groups with p-values indicating strong effects.

Nativ‐Zeltzer et al. (2026) studied this question.
