Exosomes: Nature’s Guided Missiles
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles, have a critical role in cell-to-cell communication, naturally responding to signals released by inflamed or damaged tissue. Loading them with Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (API) creates nanodrugs that can serve as “guided missiles” that home in on specific tissues for regeneration and healing.
Benefits of Exosomes as a drug delivery system
- Exosomes are small particles generated during stem cell proliferation.
- Certain exosomes possess “homing” capabilities, allowing them to target specific tissues and inflammation within the body.
- Naive exosomes have a therapeutic effect
- Exosomes have the capacity to be loaded with a wide range of molecules, such as siRNA, to enhance their therapeutic potential.”
