Have you ever heard of exosomes? Exosomes are the Next Generation therapy in the field of regenerative medicine (medicine that uses our own body’s healing and inflammatory factors as opposed to using synthetic medications to treat symptoms). Many of us have heard of stem cells as the ultimate cells for repair, anti-inflammatory and healing effects. There are three sources of stem cells, stem cells derived from bone marrow, fat cells and from newborn placenta and umbilical cord tissue. While beneficial, stem cells are too large in size to cross the blood-brain barrier and thus are not effective for Neurological disorders unless injected directly into the brain. When given intravenously most stem cells are sequestered or trapped by the lungs first and it is questionable as to how many stem cells actually get to this desired destination.
The latest discovery in the quest to naturally and effectively repair the diseases of aging is to use Exosomes.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are minute 30 to 150nm naturally occurring vesicles “containers” that transport proteins, growth and anti-inflammatory factors between cells, it’s the way by which our body transports repair factors that are released by our own stem cells to the area needed to be repaired such as a wound, for example. The problem is that the older we get, our own stem cells decrease in number and are also less effective in releasing our own repair factors. This is where exosomes come in. Specific exosome tissue banks package growth factors and repair factors released by young, powerful neonatal placental derived stem cells to be administered to the patients. The preparation, depending on the particular product can be billions of exosomes laden with repair factors. When you administer stem cells the number of cells administered are a few million at most. Exosomes are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore are a very promising treatment for neurological disorders. The application for use of exosomes is endless and may aid in:
1. IV administration for preventative anti-aging purposes.
2. Joint injections with or without PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for orthopedic conditions.
3. IV administration for neurological disorders.
4. IV Administration for autoimmune diseases.
5. Direct injection into the scalp with PRP for non-surgical hair restoration.
6. Injection into the skin for scar improvement or overall skin rejuvenation.
7. IV aAdministration for heart disease.
