Emerging Exosome Treatment Shines Hope on Chronic Kidney Disease and Renal Fibrosis

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern worldwide. According to a recent report in The Lancet Regional Health, as of 2022, between 9.1% and 13.4% of the global population suffers from CKD.A promising avenue for treating CKD, particularly in reducing renal fibrosis, involves the use of engineered extracellular

New Hope for Patients with Hearing Loss: Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Show Potential for Repairing Cochlear Cells and Nerves

Risk factors for hearing loss include ear infections, prolonged exposure to high-frequency noise, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, which can cause irreversible damage. In daily life, sounds enter the cochlea as vibrations, where they are transformed into auditory signals by hair cells and then transmitted by nerves. Damage to these cochlear hair cells and

Anti-Aging Study: Exosomes Regulate Aging Skeletal Muscle

Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes and microvesicles, are an important medium for intercellular communication, with nearly all cells secreting these vesicles. The research team compared aging muscle stem cells cultured with young serum to those with young serum depleted of extracellular vesicles, observing the impact of extracellular vesicles on activating internal metabolic mechanisms.
