Multiple new studies are validating that stem cell-derived exosomes are the future of regenerative medicine. Increased awareness of the key role exosomes play in cellular healing is an important driver in this emerging market. There are proven beneficial effects for a broad spectrum of diseases and conditions ranging from skin care to immune disorder to tissue regeneration.

WHAT ARE EXOSOMES AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Exosomes are like tiny messengers that carry important information between cells, helping them communicate and do their jobs effectively. When exosomes are administered to a target area, such as an injured or damaged tissue, MSC exosomes are taken up by neighboring cells. These cells now receive important messages to repair and replicate into healthier, younger cells.

WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS?

Studies have explored the potential applications of stem cell-derived exosomes in various areas, including peripheral nerve damage, traumatic brain injury, wound healing, bone fusion, tissue repair, inflammation modulation, skin health, cartilage health, ligament/tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, bone health, cosmetics and women’s health. It is important to note that, as of now, there are no FDA-approved exosome products available in the United States.

WHERE DO EXOSOMES COME FROM?

Intricate nano-packages secreted by specialized cells are known as mesenchyml stem cells (MSCs). These extraordinary MSC stem cells are sourced from the resilient Wharton’s jelly found in the human umbilical cord. Wharton’s jelly plays a vital role in safeguarding the umbilical vessels from torsional and compressive stresses during fetal development. One of the key advantages of these cells is their youthfulness and protection against damages caused by aging, environmental toxins, and diseases. All of Exogenix exosomes are sourced from a woman’s clinic in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The umbilical cords are donated by patients who have had healthy full-term pregnancies.

EXOSOMES VS PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Before and after exosome treatment.

A standard PRP injection typically provides a maximum of 12 growth factors to the treatment area. In contrast, exosome injections may deliver a significantly higher number, with approximately 700 growth factors. Exosome therapy is potentially about 60 times more powerful and effective than PRP treatment.

EXOSOMES VS STEM CELLS?

Unlike stem cells, exosomes do not carry live DNA. Remarkably, a significant portion of the therapeutic benefits attributed to stem cells actually originate from the actions of the exosomes they release. This feature sets exosomes apart, offering a lower risk and a highly effective approach to tissue repair and rejuvenation.

DELIVERY APPLICATIONS:
