Highlights Extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from 2D and 3D bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) demonstrate different characterization phenotype. Heterogeneity and concentration of BM-MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles are highly impacted by the culture conditions. 3D-derived EVs can significantly enhance trigeminal nerves elongation and complexity compared to 2D-derived EVs. 3D culture conditions are highly efficient environment for upscale production of MSC-derived EVs with enhanced neuro-regeneration properties for corneal nerve regeneration.
