Exosomes - Understanding the Science
Also called extracellular vesicles, Exosomes are lipid-bound tiny sacs or bubbles of 30nm and 150nm. They are released by the stem cells in the body for carrying molecules from cell to cell as part of the communication mechanisms in the body. When the producer cell generates an Exosome, it travels to the distant or neighboring cell(s) to deliver its contents.
They transfer different genetic data and proteins to the recipient cells. For example, Exosomes are sometimes used for delivering RNA messengers to the recipient cells to begin the production of specific proteins. These proteins are then released to perform their purpose, like augmenting the immune system’s response to a virus or infection in the body.
Exosomes therapy leverages the targeted delivery system science for therapeutic purposes. This regenerative medicine modality is designed around this concept to benefit patients suffering from multiple medical conditions.
Process
As Exosomes contain genetic data, it helps the recipient cells know how and when to react.
Injections into Targeted Area
Exosomes are injected into the targeted area with a healing agent concentration to boost and stimulate the natural ability of the body to heal.
Cell Communicators
The agents act as cell communicators that direct cells to where they’re needed, thereby promoting tissue repair – the regenerative medicine hallmark.
Healing & Tissue Regeneration
The therapy rejuvenates old stem cells with new ones.
It relies on the regenerative and healing properties of the body to produce healing and anti-aging results. Exosomes provide over 200 signaling proteins to the body that turn on the natural regenerative mechanisms and boost anti-inflammatory cytokines production and healing signals.
The therapy’s success can be gauged by the increasing number of clinical trials and studies conducted globally. According to a study posted on PubMed.gov, Exosome therapy is a new area in regenerative medicine with an emerging market because of its incredible potential and excellent outcomes.
Benefits Compared to Steroid Injections
Though steroid injections may be the standard of care among many physicians, better and safer treatments are available for pain relief and musculoskeletal disorders. These treatments include but are not limited to Exosomes therapy. Exosomes therapy, compared to steroid injections, offers tons of benefits. Unlike steroid injections that are only effective for immediate symptom reduction, Exosomes therapy helps:
Alleviate
Pain Symptoms
Reduce
Inflammation
Promote
Healing
Addresses
Root Cause of Pain & Disease
Steroid injections can have several adverse side effects, like increased pain, in the long run, progressive arthritic changes, and weakening of bones and muscles. The patient may require more injections and, eventually, surgery.
Additional Advantages
Exosome therapy has several advantages, such as:
• Helps Regenerate Tissues
• Lowers Inflammation
• Assists in the transportation of proteins, genetic materials, and other content
• Promotes Molecule Transmission
• Offers anti-fibrotic properties
Applications
Exosomes communicate with targeted cells and growth factors to heal and repair tissue faster. Exosomes provide the body with what it requires to heal, rejuvenate, and address the underlying cause of the pain, symptoms, or disease. Hence, it is highly effective for:
Tennis Elbow
Golfer's Elbow
Additional Applications
• Managing Degenerative Conditions
• Promote Immune Health
• Promote Skin Rejuvenation
