Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein relate to treating a subject suffering from hypertension, a cardiac injury, or a metabolic disorder. Some embodiments include administering an exosome to a subject. Some embodiments include administering an oligonucleotide to the subject. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises a Y-RNA or Y-RNA fragment such as EV-YF1 or EV-YF1-U16. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide or exosome also has a therapeutic effect on the subject.

Methods for therapeutic use of exosomes and Y-RNAS

Several embodiments relate to methods of repairing and/or regenerating damaged or diseased tissue comprising administering to the damaged or diseased tissues compositions comprising exosomes. In several embodiments, the exosomes comprise one or more microRNA that result in alterations in gene or protein expression, which in tum result in improved cell or tissue viability and/or function.

Exosomes and micro-ribonucleic acids for tissue regeneration

Several embodiments relate to methods of repairing and/or regenerating damaged or diseased tissue comprising administering to the damaged or diseased tissues compositions comprising exosomes. In several embodiments, the exosomes comprise one or more microRNA that result in alterations in gene or protein expression, which in turn result in improved cell or tissue viability and/or function.

The present application relates to methods and compositions for the generation of therapeutic cells having reduced incidence of karyotypic abnormalities. In several embodiments cardiac stem cells are cultured in an antioxidant-supplemented media that reduces levels of reactive oxygen species, but does not down regulate DNA repair mechanisms. In several embodiments, physiological oxygen concentrations are used during culture in order to increase the proliferation of stem cells, decrease the senescence of the cells, decrease genomic instability, and/or augment the functionality of such cells for cellular therapies.
