Exosomes of Antler Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Rats through Inhibiting the TLR2/TLR4 Signaling Pathway

AMSC-derived exosomes prevent brain damage in CPB rats. SPF SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups including the sham operation group (sham group); CPB surgery group (CPB group); exosome+CPB group (EXO group); and exosome+CPB group+TLR2/TLR4 agonist group (TLR group) with 10 rats in each group.
