Footnotes

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:Exosomes contribute to both liver restoration and damaging; therefore, controlling their release may be useful in prevention and treatment of liver diseases. In addition, designing a novel tool based on exosome may be useful in gene therapy.
Authors’ Contribution:Abbas Ali Imani Fooladi participated in developing the study concept, design, and critical revision of the manuscript. Hamideh Mahmoodzadeh Hosseini contributed to the drafting of the manuscript and critical revision of the manuscript.
Financial Disclosure:There was no financial disclosure.
Funding/Support:This work was supported by the grant from the Iranian National Sciences Foundation (INSF).
