What are exosomes?
Don’t let the scientific name put you off. Exosomes are a tiny piece of material extracted from a cell. These vesicles carry proteins and genetic information throughout the body and create paths for communication between cells. This little molecule is essentially a messenger, and it carries information to other cells, telling them to behave in a certain way.
Exosomes play an important role in numerous biological processes, including immune response, cell-to-cell communication, waste disposal and even disease processes such as cancer. They can also serve as biomarkers for various diseases, as their composition often reflects conditions and changes in the cells from which they originate.
Research on exosomes is an active and exciting field that is expanding our understanding of cell communication and disease mechanisms. While research is still at a very early stage, this technology shows potential therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine.
