EXOSOME
WHAT IS AN EXOSOME?
Exosomes are microscopic "information molecules" that cells in our body send to each other.
packages”.
Their diameter is about 1/1000 of the diameter of your hair. The cells are packed into these packets.
puts proteins, genetic information (DNA and RNA) and other important molecules, then
sends it to other cells.
In this way, our cells:
- They send messages to each other,
- Starts the repair process,
- It directs our immune system.
WHERE ARE EXOSOMES USED?
1. Early Diagnosis of Diseases
- Some diseases can be diagnosed early by examining exosomes in blood, urine or saliva.
can be detected in the period.
- "Biomarker" in many diseases such as cancer, heart diseases, brain diseases
It has the potential to be used as a.
2. Treatment and Repair
- Tissue regeneration: Exosomes can accelerate the repair of damaged tissues. Especially
heart tissue, joint cartilage, nerve tissue and skin regeneration after a heart attack
Studies are being conducted on.
- Hair treatment: Reducing hair loss and promoting new hair growth by nourishing hair follicles
has the potential to support.
- Skin rejuvenation: It can increase skin moisture, elasticity and reduce fine lines
may help.
3. As a Drug Carrier
- Exosomes can carry drugs directly to target cells, thus improving the effectiveness of treatments.
has the potential to increase efficacy and reduce side effects.
- It opens new doors to treatment, especially for brain diseases, as it can cross the brain-blood barrier.
can open.
ADVANTAGES OF EXOSOME THERAPY
- It has a natural structure because it is obtained from cells.
- Its effectiveness can be high because it works towards the target.
- According to research, it can support tissue repair and rejuvenation processes.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
Exosome treatments are still in the research phase and are not approved in every country.
- The application must be performed by physicians who are experts in their field.
- Unproven, unlicensed products should be avoided.
Exosomes are tiny healing and communication packets that our cells send to each other.
is like.
In the future, early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, tissue regeneration, hair and skin health, etc.
It is expected that they will be used more widely in these areas.
