Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles secreted by cells and have attracted widespread attention in the field of regenerative medicine. As a consumer, in addition to understanding the functions of exosomes, choosing exosomes with high safety is also key. In this article, we will teach you how to select exosomes to ensure that the substances delivered into the body are safe.
Purpose
First, we must clearly understand the purpose of using exosomes. Exosomes can activate the self-repair ability of cells and reduce the symptoms of inflammation in the body. Consulting with experienced experts to clarify specific goals and treatment plans will help improve safety and effectiveness.
Source and batch number
Exosomes can originate from different cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells, dendritic cells, or tumor cells. Each source may have unique properties and therapeutic potential, while ensuring the safety of the source cells.
Purity and Quality
Make sure that the exosomes you choose are of high purity and high quality, and check whether the supplier has passed relevant certifications and quality control.
specificity
Detailed evaluation of biomarkers in exosomes provided by vendors. Confirm that they have specific markers, such as CD9 , CD63 and CD81 , to confirm the identity of the exosomes.
safety
Must pass microbial sterility test, including Mycoplasma and endotoxin.
effectiveness
- Neuroprotection: Exosomes can carry a variety of bioactive molecules, such as nerve growth factors, neurotrophic factors, and antioxidants. These molecules can promote the survival and growth of nerve cells, thereby protecting damaged nerve tissue from further damage.
- Modulation of inflammation: After nerve injury, the inflammatory response may lead to further damage to neural tissue. Exosomes have the function of regulating immune and inflammatory responses, which can reduce the inflammatory response caused by nerve damage and help create a microenvironment more conducive to nerve repair.
Learning how to read exosome test and analysis reports is a very important step. By confirming the purpose, understanding the source, purity and quality, specificity analysis, safety testing and active ingredient analysis, you can also have a certain level of understanding of exosomes instead of blindly following them.
