Stem cells generate all other cells with specialized functions in the body. These special cells can become bone, muscle, cartilage, and other specialized types of cells, allowing them the potential to assist in healing and repair in a number of diseases, including conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Scientists and clinicians are developing and refining their ability to prepare harvested stem cells to be injected for repairing diseased and damaged tissue in addition to promoting anti-aging. 

​

Medicine has focused on a number of uses for stem cells, including replacing diseased cells, testing new drugs for safety and effectiveness, and gaining a better understanding of how disease occurs, but there’s even greater potential in their use than ever before. On the forefront are even more opportunities to use a more pinpointed and safe approach known as exosomes.

​

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles, or small bubbles, released from cells that act as shuttles for certain genetic information and proteins to other cells, usually in response to injuries.​ They allow for cell-to-cell communication, ending up outside of the cells to transport molecules that are important regulators of intracellular information between close and distant cells.

​

While stem cells are the notable champions in the treatment of neurological diseases, cancers, and immune disorders, pinpointing treatments by focusing on exosomes could have a greater positive effect, rather than solely focusing on the stem cell as a whole. They may also offer a new way to treat chronic illness,​ as cell therapy is key to reestablish the body's regulation capacity in chronically ill patients. While stem cells are considered the body’s building blocks for repair and healing, exosomes are the doing the actual work. They serve as important messengers that can help in cell optimization, repair processes, and mobilizing the body’s stem cells and healing processes.

 

GEN REV has partnered with an FDA-approved manufacturer of exosome therapy with maximum safety and quality controls in every batch. For internal and topical use, this new wave of technology in regenerative medicine yields vast benefits to the body, both systemically and locally.
