Exosomes derived from disease-condition-serum-primed iMSCs ameliorated cartilage damage in a RA model by enhancing TGF-β1 production, inducing Th2 and M2 polarization and lowering proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, KC, and IL-12p70 in the host. This evidence concerns the gene CALCA and rheumatoid arthritis.
