A New Frontier in Stem Cell Therapy

In this episode, our Chief Biohacker Ivel De Freitas, MD and the Chief Scientific Officer of NEOBIOSIS Ian White, Ph.D. talk about Cytostomes, Exosomes, Amniosomes, and how regenerative products are processed. They discussed exosome therapy which is a new and safer option for stem cell treatments. What are exosomes exactly? They are nanosized super tiny vesicles, produced by stem cells to signal the immune system and other cells to repair. When introduced in the body they attach to your cells and are responsible for helping cells to reset and turn on their healing response. When a healthy cell sends an exosome into a damaged cell, the exosome is meant to turn the cells healing power on by inviting your own body's stem cells and immune system to rebuild tissue, such as bone, muscle, cartilage, skin, liver, heart, brain and nerves, helping them regain the structure and function they once had.

Exosomes also modulate inflammation which is another important culprit for aging, autoimmunity, and tissue deterioration. This important effect may be one of the multiple reasons that explain why exosomes are now considered one of the most promising regenerative therapies to slow down the effects of aging and aging-associated degenerative conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, dementia. They are also being studied as an alternative therapy for autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto's, and multiple myeloma.

Exosomes and viruses pose far fewer risks of triggering immune rejection and other complications seen with stem cell therapy because exosomes are not cells. They cannot turn malignant, replicate, or become infected with viruses. As exosomes stimulate natural healing and repair response and modulate inflammation, using them as an anti-aging aid may be the most promising way to support patients aging well and maintaining optimal health and functionality through life.
