Review of senescence-associated extracellular vesicles in skin aging and potential therapeutic approaches.

This is a review article examining the role of senescence-associated extracellular vesicles (SA-EVs) in skin aging and dysfunction. The authors describe how SA-EVs are secreted by senescent cells and carry proinflammatory cargo that promotes further senescence, impairs wound healing, and contributes to chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, scarring, and skin aging. The review discusses potential therapeutic approaches including senolytics, senomorphics, stem cell-derived EVs, and biomaterial-assisted systems.
