Pioneering research, education, and clinical insight into exosome biology — connecting scientists, physicians, and innovators advancing regenerative medicine worldwide.
All living cells, regardless of cell type, communicate with other cells. Among the many signals expressed include the body’s need to direct and assist in response to injury, healing, repair, and regeneration. The cell signaling method is the simple packaging of signaling proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids into nano-sized, membrane-bound Extracellular Vesicle (EV) spheres about 1/1000th of a cell’s size. Once in the extracellular space, these exosome spheres can release their cargo into the surrounding cellular fluid or adhere to the recipient cell and release their therapeutic payload intracellularly. The various proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid constituents within exosomes include anti-inflammatory proteins or cytokines, various growth and angiogenesis factors, messenger RNA (mRNA) carrying the code for new protein production, or microRNA (miRNA) for cellular gene expression or silencing.
