    The bone marrow (BM) plays a pivotal role in homeostasis by supporting hematopoiesis and immune cells' activation, maturation, interaction, and deployment. "BMSC-derived secretome" refers to the complete repertoire of secreted molecules, including nucleic acids, chemokines, growth factors, cytokines, and lipids from BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). BMSC-derived secretomes are the current molecular platform for acellular therapy. Secretomes are highly manipulable and can be synthesised in vast quantities using commercially accessible cell lines in the laboratory. Secretomes are less likely to elicit an immunological response because they contain fewer surface proteins. Moreover, the delivery of BMSC-derived secretomes has been shown in numerous studies to be an effective, cell-free therapy method for alleviating the symptoms of inflammatory and degenerative diseases. As a result, secretome delivery from BMSCs has the same therapeutic effects as BMSCs transplantation but may have fewer adverse effects. Additionally, BMSCs' secretome has therapeutic promise for organoids and parabiosis studies. This review focuses on recent advances in secretome-based cell-free therapy, including its manipulation, isolation, characterisation, and delivery systems. The diverse bioactive molecules of secretomes that successfully treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and anti-ageing systems were also examined in this review. However, secretome-based therapy has some unfavourable side effects that may restrict its uses. Some of the adverse effects of this modal therapy were briefly mentioned in this review.

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterised by myelin degeneration in the central nervous system (CNS), leading to significant neurological impairment. Affecting approximately 2.8 million people globally and has a multifactorial aetiology involving genetic predispositions and environmental factors, particularly dietary influences. This review explores the emerging field of immuno-nutritional therapy as a novel approach for managing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a widely accepted animal model of MS. We highlight the therapeutic potential of key nutritional components, such as omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and vitamins A and D, which have been shown to modulate immune responses and promote neuroprotection. These nutrients exert their effects by regulating cytokine profiles, enhancing regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation, and maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Evidence suggests that dietary interventions can significantly modulate disease severity and progression in EAE, offering valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies for MS patients. However, translating the findings from EAE models to human MS requires careful consideration of differences in immune responses and environmental factors. Future clinical trials designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of dietary interventions across diverse MS populations are essential. By integrating immunomodulatory treatments with tailored nutritional strategies, there is a potential for innovative therapies that can alter disease trajectories and improve patient outcomes. A collaborative approach among nutrition scientists, immunologists, and neurologists could pave the way for effective immuno-nutritional therapies in MS management, enhancing the quality of life of those affected by this debilitating condition.
