What Are Exosomes?

In Simple Terms:

Exosomes are like tiny packages that cells use to communicate with each other and facilitate the repair and regeneration of tissues. Think of them as the body's natural messengers, delivering important signals to cells to keep them functioning properly and promote healing. Exosomes contain all the growth factors, peptides, proteins and RNA that our body needs to heal itself. Over time, our body's exosomes lose their potency, which can lead to various signs of ageing and health issues such as wrinkles, arthritis, hair loss, grey hair, sore joints and muscles, and the development of serious neurological and immunodeficiency conditions.

Understanding the Science Behind UC-MSC Exosomes

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that play a crucial role in cellular communication and the regeneration of tissues.
These natural messengers are pivotal in maintaining cellular function and promoting healing. However, not all exosomes are created equal. At Kure, we work with Advanced-Biologics who specialize in the most advanced form of—UC-MSC (Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell) exosomes, which are derived from the Wharton's Jelly of the umbilical cord.

The difference between stem cells and exosomes lies in their applications and safety profiles. While stem cells, including embryonic and mesenchymal stem cells, have the potential to differentiate into various cell types, they also carry risks such as uncontrolled cell proliferation. In contrast, UC-MSC exosomes, being acellular and not containing any genetic material, do not pose these risks, making them a safer alternative for clinical applications.

Our UC-MSC exosomes are characterized by their high stability, low immunogenicity, and the absence of DNA, which eliminates the risk of tumor formation—a concern associated with stem cell therapies. They are capable of crossing biological barriers efficiently, which enhances their therapeutic potential.

Each exosome batch from Advanced-Biologics contains over 700 active growth factors, ensuring high efficacy with fewer treatments compared to other products on the market. By choosing our UC-MSC exosomes, practitioners are not only opting for a product with unmatched purity and potency but also a product that is rigorously tested and compliant with the highest regulatory standards. This commitment to quality and safety makes Advanced-Biologics a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, offering products that truly enhance patient outcomes.

EXOSOME DEPLETION WITH AGE and MSC EXOSOME THERAPY

As we age, the quality and quantity of our endogenous exosomes decline, contributing to the gradual deterioration of cellular function and tissue regenerative capacity. Hence the onset of wrinkles, arthritis, hair loss, neurodegeneration, cancers and other diseases and disorders.

Exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly those derived from the Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord (UC-MSC Exosomes), have emerged as a promising regenerative therapy to counteract this age-related exosome depletion. MSC exosomes are rich in bioactive molecules, including growth factors, cytokines, and regulatory RNAs, that stimulate tissue repair and rejuvenation.

HARNESSING THE REGENERATIVE POWER of MSC EXOSOMES

Unlike stem cell therapies, MSC exosomes do not contain any genetic material, eliminating the risk of uncontrolled cell proliferation or tumour formation. By introducing these potent, DNA-free exosomes into the body, individuals can experience the regenerative benefits of stem cell therapy without safety concerns. Numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of MSC exosomes to promote the regeneration of various cell types, making this therapy a versatile approach for addressing a wide range of age-related conditions, from neurodegenerative diseases to cardiovascular decline and metabolic disorders.

THE REGENERATIVE POWER of EXOSOMES: From Embryonic Development to Therapeutic Applications

Human embryos develop from embryonic stem cells into a fully formed body through a complex process of differentiation and organogenesis, which is heavily influenced by extracellular vesicles called exosomes. Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, a pre-implantation stage of the embryo. These stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can give rise to cells of all three germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.

As the embryo develops, the pluripotent stem cells undergo a process called gastrulation, where they differentiate into the specialized cell types that will form the various tissues and organs. Signaling molecules like retinoic acid, Wnt, and FGF, as well as transcription factors like the Hox genes, guide this patterning and segmentation process. Importantly, exosomes secreted by the embryonic stem cells and differentiating cells are crucial in mediating these signaling pathways and coordinating complex morphogenesis.

This remarkable self-organization, driven in part by exosomes, allows a single fertilized egg to develop into the intricate, multi-organ human body. However, as we age, the quality and quantity of our endogenous exosomes decline, contributing to the gradual deterioration of cellular function and tissue regenerative capacity.

HUMAN EXOSOME SOURCES

Exosomes can be derived from various sources, including:

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)

Bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs8)

Adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs)

Umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs)

The majority of the information focuses on exosomes derived from MSCs of different tissue origins, particularly bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. These MSC-derived exosomes have gained significant attention due to their potential therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine and cell-free therapies.

The Difference in Exosome Products:

At Kure Clinic, we're proud to offer exosomes that are uncompromised and in full form and function, making them the most effective, pure, potent, consistent, safe and ambitious exosomes available. While other products in the market may rely on conditioned media, plant exosomes, or lyophilized exosomes, ours stand out for their authenticity and efficacy, containing over 700 active Growth Factors in every exosome, and 100 Billion exosomes per bottle.

Other products utilize Lyophilized exosomes, an inferior preservation method resulting in a minimal amount of factors. Other products feature Conditioned Media, which is not exosomes. Conditioned Media is just food for stem cells. Despite a similar price point, our exosomes surpass these products in quality and efficacy, providing far better results with fewer treatments.

These applications demonstrate some of the versatility and therapeutic potential of exosomes across various medical specialties. Ongoing research continues to uncover new insights into their mechanisms of action and expand their clinical applications.

Contrary to stem cells, exosomes do not replicate, do not contain DNA, and do not elicit an immune response, resulting in a safer product compared to stem cells. By definition, exosome products are cell-free and do not contain any live cells. Our team has been in the regeneration business for 11 years. Specifically, to develop this product, not to have it sold under the table but rather as a true pharmaceutical-grade drug. Our product meets purity, potency, consistency, and safety standards set by the FDA’s 351(a) regulations. Due to the high medical risks of using live stem cells, they have been highly regulated. Currently, the only legal way to use live stem cells is if they are derived from the patient themselves or are not manipulated in any way and used as a tissue transplant. These current methods of using live stem cells have major shortcomings beyond the health risk.

First, any tissue that is used as a transplant is limited in its application in only being able to be applied to similar tissue (placenta membranes may only be used on similar skin type tissues).

Second, any self-derived stem cells are subject to degradation due to aging. At the age of 40, a person’s stem cells begin to lose effectiveness. By the age of 60, the age of most patients needing stem cell treatments, the stem cells are barely effective, if at all.

We combat this by using a placenta from a new birth and extracting the mesenchymal stem cells. This allows us to use the newest and most potent stem cells possible. We then screen and culture them in a lab to control the safety and efficacy of the cells. We then immerse them in the appropriate medium which allows them to secrete exosomes with consistent and high quantities of regenerative factors. Finally, we extract the exosomes and analyze them through batch testing at which point they are made available for research purposes.

Our product is a high concentration of proteins, MRA’s, and lipids specifically targeted at anti-inflammatory and regenerative growth factors loaded into a specialized vesicle called Exosomes, a drug delivery vehicle. Skin cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts secrete exosomes that have many skin benefits. Exosomes activate stem cells that then migrate to sites of injury and facilitate skin remodeling leading to skin rejuvenation. These growth factors and anti-inflammatory factors stimulate tissue’s healthy healing.

Our exosomes are manufactured in accordance with the strictest Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. Designed to assist individuals in feeling their best. Our exosomes are carefully sourced and processed to ensure the highest quality and efficacy. They are backed by rigorous scientific research and have been shown to offer a range of benefits.
